Hi Jennifer
I used to run immunos by hand and very rarely, but sometimes, still do. In
reference to staining racks, I have used metal or glass staining racks for
most of the steps, such as deparaffinizing, quenching,
counterstaining, and dehydrating.   I have used "rinsing trays" or
Shandons Sequenza "racks" for applying antibodies.
