[Histonet] slide drying

[kyle ayres]

Place the slides in every other slot of basket and dry for 15-20 min at 69 celcius, let cool in front of fan for 1-2 min. You are able to combine baskets at this step.

Our lab just received a slide drying oven, and we are trying to figure
out what's a good temperature for the slides to be heated and for how
long. We are mainly doing H&E slides. 

The way we are currently drying them is under a small fan, then heat
them up, and back to the fan. Then finally heating them up and off to
the stainer.

Just putting them in the slide drying oven for 10 min at 80C melts the
paraffin, but leaves some water on the bottom of some sections.

Any suggestions to get the slides dry asap ?  Also is the oven much help
to your labs?

Thanks !
