[Histonet] Coverslipping problems

[Richard Cartun]

Dear Histonet colleagues:

We have a Sakura Tissue-Tek SCA coverslipper that we use for our
immunoperoxidase stained slides.  In the past it worked great.  Now, we
constantly have bubbles and dried-out areas (I think you refer to it as
"cornflaking") on the slides.  Apparently, we do not have these same
problems with our H&E-stained slides.  Any suggestions?

Best wishes for a happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year to everyone!

Richard
