[Histonet] Eosin on processor

[Joe Nocito]

Linda,
my last lab put 25 mls of Eosin in the first 100% alcohol container on each 
of the tissue processors. It didn't interfere with the H&E staining, it did 
stain up the tissue processors, but wasn't a factor as to their operations. 
Since the lab processed mostly biopsies, the Eosin was a life saver, 
especially when it came to GI and prostate biopsies.
Hope this helps.

Joe
