Hi Joyce,

I use microwave retrieval for 15 minutes and used to have a lot of
problems with losing sections. Since I started using Plus slides and
distilled water in my waterbath (nothing added to it) I hardly ever have
to repeat cases due to loss of sections. I dry all my slides overnight
at 45C oven.
Hope this helps, I know how frustrating it is...
