[Histonet] Toenail staining issues

[Charles Riley]

>From time to time, we have issues with our sections of toenail falling off the slide during staining.

Our H&E sections usually stain without issue but when we do our special stains (PASF and GMS) the tissue falls off routinely.

We use charged slides and if a section falls off, we coat the recut slide with albumin to help get extra adherence. However sometimes even this does not help the tissue stick through the whole process (especially on GMS).


Does anyone have any additional suggestion we could try to get the sections to adhere better throughout the process?
