[Histonet] RE: Fungus contamination

[Elizabeth Chlipala]

Judith

Its been years ago but I wrote a ASCP tech sample on this - I can't remember what solution it was but one of the solutions we used for the GMS stain actually grew fungus in it and we were getting staining on top of the tissue sections also.  If you don't think it's one of your solutions I would culture your distilled water.

Having a problem with fungus on top of both the pas and gms stain. There are no solutions used on both test. Other than distilled water we can not figure it out. All solutions have been changed and clean containers used.
