[Histonet] Eosin

[Kienitz, Kari]

It's always kind of a stab in the dark to diagnose H&E problems without a little more information.  One thing I would try if you don't feel its an actual Eosin problem is your alcohol prior to the eosin.  Slide volume and humidity can dilute your alcohol and cause lighter cytoplasmic staining.  The alcohol prior to eosin should be 95% and changed daily if need be.

Subject: [Histonet] Eosin

Good morning,

I once again am dealing with a my picky Pathologist!!  About a year ago, he started to complain about not having enough Eosin on his sections( first morning rack on Monday).. I went from changing the Eosin on Friday and stirring it on Monday to totally changing it  on Monday...it has all been good until the end of last week. The problem has started up again... little Eosin in the first rack of Monday morning.  Any suggestions??
