For us there has been no problem at all.  In some cases the IHC staining
is actually crisper.  I will say that we primarily have formalin-fixed
tissues (we receive most of our cases from outside CDC).

Subject: [Histonet] IHC on Sakura Xpress processed tissue

Can I get feedback from the Histonet world on how IHC staining is
effected by switching from standard processing to processing on the
Xpress?
Does anyone see any other drawbacks to the technology?
