Patsy and Luong:

It is also my understanding that stay-on negates charged slides.  We did
indeed have a problem with our immunos coming off in the pressure cooker
(microwave) until we stopped using stay on with the plus slides.  Our techs
keep a small vat of pure DI water in their regular water bath which contains
stayon.  When they cut something requiring plus slides they use the small
vat instead of the larger bath to float out their sections.

Best wishes,

Joe Galbraith

I have been told that using charged (silane coated) slide from a water bath
with any thing other than water in it would negate the charge property.

All,

Would there be any effect to the charged slide if you place it in the water
bath with STA-ON solution along with the non-charged one?

Thanks for any feedback.
