[Histonet] Looking for a source for Fisher Code-On absorbent pads

[Brian Chelack]

We are having difficulty sourcing the absorbent pads for our old (very very
old) Fisher Code-On immunostainer. These absorbent pads are 31/2 X31/2 X 1
inch thick. I would like to keep this old relic going for a few more years
(it still is one of the cheapest immunostainers to operate and is well
suited to running large numbers of a single stain at a time. Our Thermo
Fisher rep is only able to obtain the newer and smaller pads which are not
suitable.

 

Does anyone else still use these pads and if so can you tell me where you
get them? Otherwise I will have to convert a great many surveillance
protocols over to our Ventana equipment.

 

 

Happily stuck in the IHC stone age,
