? I was thinking of using a price gun to date my supplies when they come in, but I can't find one to buy.? Any ideas where to search for one?What do you guys use to date your supplies?? I've always used a pen to write the rcd date and my initials but thought a price gun would be quicker and neater :) Thanks!

We are struggling with our humidity constantly.
Colorado is dry in the winter.
We use at least two humidifiers to try to keep humidity at minimum 30% due to equipment manufacturer?s specs.
We have log sheets and thermometer/humidifier measurers to keep track of humidity.
Standard for equipment seems to be 30 - 80% humidity per manufacturer?s specifications of processors, etc.
Good luck

Hello,
I'm running HPV probes from Enzo on my Leica instruments, and we are noticing background episomal pattern on 16/18 staining of cases that are strongly positive for HPV 6/11, but not on cases that are 6/11 or 16/18 negative.
Is anybody experiencing this same issue and are there any suggestions.

I'm using Enzo probes, Enzo Stringency wash, Enzo mouse-antibiotin, and a polymer detection kit.

Thank you

Thanks. We dog log the temp. I have had several service techs come in and comment on how much static we have. It has been worse than usual lately so am looking into options. Thanks much for your input!
