[Histonet] yeast comtamination on surepath

[Nancy Schmitt]

Happy Monday!
We are running surepath paps on the prepstain instrument.  We are seeing yeast  - and it seems to occur after we have had a PM done.  I am wondering if anyone else sees this and how you are handling it.  We have been bleaching the lines each day the cytotechs report they have seen it, but it seems to keep popping up.  We filter our stains and perform routine maintenance as instructed.  I have contacted technical support - they were not so helpful:(  I will be giving that another whirl if doesn't clear up soon.
Thank you for any advice - and I know this is a histology site, but I have been impressed with the cytoprep advice I have received here.
