Deleting a Slide
When using the Slides option to program a staining run, a slide can be deleted if there is at least
one entirely blank (unprogrammed) row.
1. Select the Slides menu item.
2. Adjust the number of slides and click OK.
NOTE: If all rows have a programmed tile the slide must be deleted from the
PROGRAMMING GRID (see Deleting a Specific Slide, later in this section.)
The Slide Information Button
The SLIDE INFO button enables the entry of specific information for every slide to be stained. Slide
identification information is entered on the SLIDE INFORMATION screen. The data entry fields may
include: Slide ID, Case #, Doctor, Block ID, Tissues, and # Slides. The specific combination of
information fields is determined by an authorized user during initialization. (See Initializing the Dako
Autostainer, Section 7.)
A summary line indicates the number of slide identifications, cases and slides entered for the current
staining run. This status line is updated as new slide information is added, providing a useful point of
reference during programming.
NOTE: Slide ID, Doctor, Block ID, and Tissue fields were selected through the OPTIONS button on
the INITIALIZE screen during software initialization. Case # and slides/case fields are required and
are always present.
