Is anyone using bleach to clean the stainer?  Bleach corrodes the stainless steel.

I've only seen it happen with regressive stains. The acid seems to get in the air circulating in the stainer.

Hello,

Did anyone ever seen any histostainer got rusty? We have a strange issue
with one of ours - some parts which should be made of stainless steel
suddenly started to get rusty... I don't want to put a manufacturer's name
in here as we are trying to negotiate our way out of this issue now. We're
happy with the unit, it still works fine, but we'd trying to figure out
what was wrong.

So, did anyone had simular experience and what was the reason, if any?
Thanks!

Dmitry,
Sr. engineer
Moscow region pathology bureau
