We have been experiencing major difficulty with our Congo Red stain.  We used to do it on the Artisan, but they changed raw products which has altered the stain and is not acceptable by our hematopathologists.  Now we are back to manual and cannot seem to get it consistently acceptable.

I would appreciate any ideas from the experts out there and if you want to send me offline your procedure, would be appreciated.  Also, does anyone use a negative control , such as a keloid, on the slide?

Thanks, as always, for your help!
