[Histonet] Incubation of Ab more then 1 hour in autostainer

[Margaryan, Naira]

Dear Histonetters,

Thanks everyone for several good advices.

I'll try all suggestions: increase volume from 600ul to 800ul, add more primary antibody step and put hot water dishes inside of machine to keep humidity as high as possible.

Hopefully it will work...........

Many thanks,
Naira

We have done up to an hour but not longer, if I were you I would have
two antibody steps and just to add some more reagent after an hour or
1.5 hours

Hi Histonetters!

I have a stupid question but I Have to ask.

Does anyone perform an Incubation of Ab that required more then 1 hour
(2-3 hours) in autostainer? Does autostainer keep slides wet or slides
sometimes are getting dry? 

I know that slides should not be dry in any step of IHC.

Thank you very much!

Naira
