AW: [Histonet] Bottomless cup of coffee

[Gudrun Lang]

If it works, ... it's acceptable. Or have you noticed any problems in
staining, that can be caused by this?
And perhaps there are standardizised times and amounts for filling up ;).

I also remember something similiar in our lab before automated staining. And
it was a kind of religion, that the haemalaun (Mayers) even would turn
better with time in the pot. We always had beautiful HEs. (And now we have
also.)

Betreff: [Histonet] Bottomless cup of coffee

 I first came across this concept in Ottawa in 1962 - a cup of coffee
that was replenished at no extra charge.
In Oman in 1989, I came across the Indian vegetarian thali that was
constantly replenished. (Pearl restaurant in Ruwi - highly recommended).
Now I have come across the bottomless pot of haematoxylin, which has
been in use in this lab since I came 8 years ago.
Apparently it is just topped up now and then, and rarely discarded for
fresh haematoxylin.
Is this normal/standard/acceptable.
I am shocked to the core!
