[Histonet] Help With Hemo Fading

[srnty <@t> aol.com]

Hello everyone,

?

We are having problems with short-term hematoxylin fading and loss of detail. The pathologist is freaking out! I've seen hemo fade over a long period of time but not in a matter of a few months. Slides from one year ago are really bad.

?

I've been out of the business for a number of years and in the interim much has changed including reagents. These are GI tract biopsies processed by microwave. 

?

Any thoughts at all?

Thanks! Marg
