[Histonet] Eosin leaching out of sections

Humidity has played a large part in our slides leaching Eosin. We have a dehumidifier in our staining room and we also use H2Blue Beads in our Xylene substitute. The beads absorb water from the substitute and help prevent leaching of the stain.

The beads are ordered from Amercian Mastertech.

Hi again,

Does anyone have an issue with eosin leaching out of sections a few days
after they have been coverslipped on an H&E stained slide?

Thanks,

Scott Hendricksen HT(ASCP)
