Not in any dictionary on the web.

Steiner


Dear all,

After dinking with WS, we went with Steiner (in house made reagents) and 
used a superb protocol from Peggy Wenk's laboratory.  We could do several 
racks of slides in a day, mass production with some organization, but there 
were no headaches with her method - it never failed to work well.  Key was 
timing and watching that control develop.  I fully agree, a good positive 
control is needed. We are forever grateful to Peggy on this one.
