[Histonet] Slide labels falling off- Slidemate AS

 Hello all,

   I am hoping someone out there can help. We have been having issues with some of the labels coming off during staining and after. It seems to be random so I can't tell if there is a problem with the slides or the Slidemate AS. There are days that it will be half the slides but other days where it will be none.  Sometimes the labels peel off and float away during staining and other times labels rub off when handling but only after staining.


We are using Globe Scientific Slides, and have been for over 2 years with no issues until December.

I have changed out the ribbon on the slidemate and the problem is still sporadic.

Oven time drying time does not seem to be a factor.

We have not made any reagent changes for the staining process to explain the issue either.


Has anyone else seen anything like this? Any slide suggestions to try out?
