Questions and Answers

Why is there smear separation or tearing with my ELITechGroup Laboratory Equipment?
- L
  Lisa MillerAug 5, 2025
  Smear separation or tearing with ELITechGroup Laboratory Equipment can occur due to several reasons. First, ensure proper alcohol fixation by verifying the alcohol nozzle's spray pattern and volume. If you suspect fixation failure, pre-fix specimen slides in methanol before loading. Also, select a fixation setting that increases fixation. Wet smears can also lead to this problem, so allow smears to dry for several minutes before staining. The use of new, premium quality slides is highly recommended. Finally, ensure the methanol used for fixing is anhydrous; replace if necessary.

  gwatsonAug 13, 2025
  If you observe red cell artifacts when using ELITechGroup Laboratory Equipment, it might be due to water contamination in the methanol used for fixing smears. To resolve this, ensure that the methanol is free of water. If you're uncertain, replace it with a reagent known to be anhydrous.
