[Histonet] Dako Autostainer

[Tom McNemar]

What counterstain do you use?  Hematoxylin will clumb and clog the probe causing uneven staining.

Hello, and thanks to all for their input on the PASCAL pressure cooker.  

Another IHC question.  We use the Dako Autostainer Plus and occassionaly have areas on the slides that don't seem to stain.   We are careful not to let the slides dry out.  Do Autostainers have a problem distributing reagents evenly?

Thanks,
