[Histonet] Ventana/Roche H. pylori antibody

[Gareth Davis]

Hi,
I have read on the Histonet, in the past, that other labs are having
trouble with the H.pylori antibody from Ventana/Roche.  I get "debris" that
looks like the H. pylori bug, except it appears to "float" above the
section and not in the normal areas that H. pylori stains.  Is anyone else
still having the problem?  Or if you had the problem, was it resolved?
Roche did a decon on our machine on two different occasions, which did not
help. Now Roche seems to think that our machine is old and causing the
problem.
Anyone's help would be appreciated.
Thanks
