[Histonet] RE: Squamous cells staining on H&E and IHC

[Margiotta-Watz, Michele]

We have that problem mostly during the winter months when our hands get dry. Use hand lotion, that usually helps a bit.

Thanks,

Does anyone else have problems with what looks like squamous cells staining on your H&E's and IHC's?  I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate that problem in our lab...wear gloves while cutting?  Change out water bath several times during shifts? Any suggestions?  Thanks!
