RE: Dako Autostainer

Sounds like the numerical controls are off a bit. Call DAKO tech support and
they may be able to talk you through resetting them.

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.
