For IHC
Due to the configuration of the slide chamber, the active
staining area of the slide is limited to three fourths of the
available sample area of the slide for IHC applications. Tissues
placed outside of the active staining area may result in limited
or no staining. The following illustration demonstrates the active
staining area recommended for performing IHC on the ONCORE
Automated Stainer.
For ISH
Due to the configuration of the slide chamber and the
evaporation due to the requisite high temperatures sustained
for ISH applications, the active staining area is limited to the
lower two-thirds of the sample area on the slide. Tissues placed
outside of the active staining area may result in sub-standard
or no staining. The illustration below highlights the active
staining area for ISH on the ONCORE Automated Stainer.
