My film did not get developed

Using Older Paterson Tanks with AGO

If your film did not develop when using your own older Paterson tank, here’s the solution.

Check Your Paterson Tank

Make sure your Paterson tank is a later model.
Older tanks with the old central column design can cause film to remain undeveloped.

Using the AGO Adapter
