[Histonet] problems Sllde Mate print

[Marcum, Pamela A]

Same here for printing staying on.  We use Thermo ColorFrost, slides have no problems.  It may depend on the finish the manufacturer uses for the paint on the slides.

Gudrun,



We have 2 slide mates and we run our slides through all reagents and do not have the issue you describe. The only issue we experienced was poor print quality due to the type of paint on the frosted end of the slides. I recently switched to Leica's charged slide that is designed for Thermal Printers like the slide mate and the print quality is top notch and does not fade, peel, or smear when touched and ran through xylene, alcohol, retrieval solutions etc....



Part #
3800090 SLIDE WHITE Xtra Thermal

Dear histonetters,

we have problems with the stability of the print of our slide mates (Thermo).

We use regular slides with frosted end. The print usually looks good and stable at the time of printing.

But after staining the print comes off like peeled skin. Very easy to remove.



We take care, that the print doesn't come in contact with organic solvents (deparaffination reagens = Histo SAV, butyl acetate), but without any logical reason the first line of the print peels off and the second and third line is rather ok.



Has anyone seen similar problems and solved them?



Gudrun Lang
