[Histonet] neuropath stains

[Lewis, Sarah]

Our immunofluorescence protein antibody stains are automated, but not the routine histochemical stains used for muscle biopsies.  Between the importance of maintaining pH levels, incubation temperatures (SDH,NADH,COX, AtPase's, Amyloid, MAD, Myophos, Acid Phos) and the need of a rotator plate (ORO).  Really the only options for automation would be the H&E, Gomori Trichrome  and PAS.

Are the basic muscle and nerve biopsy stains being performed manually or has someone automated these stains?
