[Histonet] Leica special/h&e stainer

[Michael Backhus]

On GI we always did as follows:

Duodenum H&E
Antrum HP/AB
Greater/Lesser Curvature HP/AB
Esophagus AB/PAS
GE Junction HP/AB/PAS

If there were multiply esophagus sites at different centimeters we did specials on everyone. 

The HP was not a IHC

I was always curious if this was too many stains.

The only thing I don't like is that the programs have to be "compatible" or else the machine alarms when you load a special stain onto the machine when it already has an H&E going.  There's a rather complicated way to get the programs to be compatible which was explained to me when I went for training.  You have to use an excel spreadsheet and figure out what rinse is where during all the programs.  Yes, it's something Leica's engineers have to work on.
