[Ian R Bernard]

Our rehydration time is 30-45 secs. Then into 95% alcohol.

Hi to all-
I am continuing to have a problem with Pap stains done by hand:

1.       We rehydrate 25 seconds in saline and straight into alcohol.  Thicker areas are ok, but thinner areas appear to be air dried......

2.       Red cell ghosts are NOT clearing
I believe there are quite a few Histology labs also performing cytoprep work and I will appreciate any thoughts you may have.
