Protocol Adjustments
The validated HistoCore SPECTRA H&E Staining System S2 protocol comes pre-loaded on the HistoCore SPECTRA ST and will default to a dial setting
of 4 for both the Hematoxylin and Eosin. Only the Hematoxylin and Eosin times may be adjusted when using this HistoCore SPECTRA H&E Staining
System S2. All other protocol steps and times outlined in Table 1 are fixed. To adjust the staining intensity of the Hematoxylin and/or Eosin, use the
Dial Settings in Table 2 below.
Expected Results
By following the instruction for use, a single HistoCore SPECTRA H&E Staining System S2 should provide at least 1,600 consistent high quality stained
slides.
Recommended Controls
Routine control slides containing tissue fixed and processed in a similar manner to the test specimens should be included to ensure reagents are
performing and functioning properly.
