Hi- need help troubleshooting a trichrome. The stain on the Nexus stainers is inconsistent. Taking it off the stainer and doing it by hand with a kit has similar results.
The tissue is NBF fixed needle biopsies on kidney. There is a little mechanical damage on the edges of the tissue but the collagens are staining too light and the red overstains. The normal tissue as control is beautiful -- I know I know--don't force the stain--but it doesn't make sense to have this much variation from a kit or auto stainer...
Help?
