[Histonet] Bone marrow aspirate iron stain

Tue May 14 14:06:55 CDT 2013

Hello, We are currently having problems with our bone marrow aspirate slides for iron stains which we run on the Ventana nexes special stainer. The RBCs look crenated or damaged. We currently fix them 5 minutes in methanol then air dry before running them on the stainer. Any suggestions?
