[Histonet] Re: Artisan stainer

Hello everyone,
 
I'm interested in more feedback from the Artisan stainer too.  Mostly,  
because in my very limited experience with it, it was disappointing.  We  seemed to 
have a problem with precipitation on everything we ran. Then  other times, 
the stains came out beautifully.  I made sure we did  valve rinses after every 
run, but still couldn't problem solve to any  reliability with the stains.  I 
wanted so much for this machine to work,  but decided in the end it wasn't 
worth putting so much time into problem solving  precipitated slides (especially 
on busy, stressful days!)  I feel there is  a "missing link" in my experience, 
because more often than not, I see histonet  posting about how much others in 
histoland love the Artisan.
