[Histonet] Leica Bond

[Liz Chlipala]

Hey everyone 

 

I have a question regarding the Leica Bond IHC stainer.  We are
currently evaluating it.  Is it true that you can not use a protein
block on the instrument and if you do you have to rinse afterwards.  I
know that a lot of labs do not use protein blocks anymore but we
routinely use them here, we use a serum free protein block on all of our
IHC slides.  If there is anyone out there that is willing to give me
some advice on this?  Also if anyone wants to comment on the use or lack
of use of protein block that would be greatly appreciated also. I'm
beginning to think I may be old fashioned but I'm a bit concerned about
not using protein block, OMG I hope I'm not turning into one of those
techs who has been in the field so long that they have become resistant
to change, yikes!

 

Thanks in advance

 

Liz
