[Histonet] processing artifact

[Okland, Gloria]

We are seeing this opaque artifact in some tissues.  It can affect one biopsy but not the two others in the same cassette.  It is very random, appears as this white haze, obscuring nuclear detail, making the slides very difficult to read.  Thinking it was water in the processor, I did a test run over the weekend and everything looks great.  No reagents had been changed or adjustments made for the test run.  Any suggestions of what else this could be and a remedy would be greatly appreciated!!..

Thank you.

Gloria
