[Histonet] problems with staining IHC

[srishan <@t> mail.holyname.org]

Hi All,

Our pathologists have made a complain that the staining of slides have 
been a problem.  Same antibodies which stain one day does not work the 
following day.  This has been going on for a few months.  When we repeat 
stain they either work or not work and we have been sending them to 
reference labs. 

Our tech support person was here and told us that the slides ( fisher plus 
slides) have been a problem with some of her customers.  Meanwhile our 
surrounding labs which are using the same slides have no issues.  She 
showed us how the reagents were not spreading properly on the slides. 

Is anyone confronted this issue?  If so,  how was it solved? 

Thanks in advance.
