Hello histonetters!
   We have been experiencing a problem in our lab with our staining...We usually put 2 levels of bx speicmens side by side on a slide...we are having problems with the level that ends up on the bottom in the staining rack.  This level stains lighter than the top level...our solutions are all above the staining rack..so we dont feel that is the problem.  Even when the solutions are fresh this seems to occur..We are currently using Richard allen products...Does anyone have a clue on this strange problem?
   Thank you in advance!
