Everyone:
I just wanted to follow up on the problem we were having with our plus
slides.  The company told me that the slides were old, and were repelling
water.   When I told our Allegiance rep, he said that was possible because
the slides just sat in the warehouse for a long time.  It seems that no one
but our lab ordered the colored, plus slides.  We have stopped using them
and our special stains work fine and our B5 sections are not falling off.
I have been reading about others who have been using plus slides and are
having problems.  This may not be the solution for them, but at least for
us, our problem was solved.  The company is making an exchange for us.
