Re: Background staining query

From:Vinnie Della Speranza

We routinely include eosin in our biopsy processors and have not had any problem with our  ihc stlides which are clean. I recommend considering other causes for the blush you refer to.

I've been asked to post this question: "Does staining tissue with eosin
during processing [i.e., paraffin embedding] cause a background or "Blush"
for IHC?  This is related to paraffin embedded tissue cut at 3 microns."

Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.
