The IHC department at our laboratory has been experiencing several difficulties
with their DAKO autostainer, and wanted me to see if anyone else in histoland
has had these problems and what they did to correct them besides the obvious of
contacting Technical support. The autostainer is not applying reagents within
the racks. For example 3 of the 12 slides may not be stained with the
hematoxylin.  Also, there is carry-over. These problems have been occuring with
no error messages on the run log. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
