[Histonet] Iron Staining of Bone Marrows

[Schaundra Walton]

We use a Vetana NEXUS special stainer and stain our bone marrow aspirates and smears with Ventana's iron kit.  One of our pathologists has complained (repeatedly) that our irons aren't staining like he expects.  Has anyone else had trouble with Ventana's iron kit?  Is anyone using a different protocol?  Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
