[Histonet] RE: Fungus contamination

[Truscott, Tom]

Hi Judith, If you have made completely fresh solutions, even any stock reagents and still have the problem, then the fungus may be arriving from another source. I once had a problem of pollen landing on my water bath and showing up on the stains that would detect it. You may have fungus on other slides but only showing up in the PAS and GMS. Tom T

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.
