[Histonet] baking after coverslipping

[Nancy Schmitt]

Hello and Happy Friday!
Can you tell me about baking slides to dry the medium? I have not heard of this - we use a Leica CV5030 and then store the slides in order for several days to ensure they are dry before filing.  We are experiencing some "dry back"  (air under coverslip) issues and had someone recommend baking after coverslipping for 15 minutes and then they are ready to file immediately after being read.  We are working with Leica technical on this issue, but this also came up in the process.   Package inserts do not lean to this.  I have been in the same lab for a long time and will appreciate your feedback!
