[Histonet] Poor contrast in H&E stain

[Heather R]

I am in the process of setting up stain run for our new stainer and am having a problem getting "crisp" contrast in our H&E.  I have adjusted times with little improvement. The stain looks "muddy" I guess. The pathologist says it's the contrast.  We are doing skin biopsies. Using Xylene, Gills, richard allen clarifier , doesnt seem like this should be too hard, but it's getting frustrating.
Thanks
