We use Protocol zinc formalin and it works great. Our steiners look better than they ever had with uranyl nitrate. It's much cheaper also.

CAP requires an explanation as to why any FS diagnosis takes more than 20 minutes after the sample reaches the lab.
The average time is 15 minutes.

Good morning histoland. What is the maximum time allotted for frozen

I do not believe so.  There are some questions from the Self Assessment
booklet from NSH on IHC/EM and Enzyme Histochemistry but since it has so
many subjects to cover not much space left for just IHC.  Your best bet is
the Dako Handbook on IHC and the references listed on the IHC Resource Group
website, www.ihcrg.org , join the group online from the website to access
the references and the pp presentation on Taking the QIHC by Ethel Macrea,
gotta be a member of NSH to join the IHCRG but it is a great resource.

I run F4/80 using the BC rat on ms detection (not their instrument) without
getting BG issues, are you using Proteinase K digestion?  I found that to

Yes, insulinomas can show amyloid; however, they are very rare tumors.

Brandi-

The flush should be with warm water (you do not need hot), and should be for the fixative station(s) and the first alcohol. You only need 1 minute in each, just enough to get the solution to pump in.

Hi Brandi

Do you do hot water flushes? If not the film will be a build up of the buffer salts from your formalin. To flush replace your formalin containers with hot water and write a program to run each container for 10-15 minutes. This will not only clean the retorts but the fluid lines as well. This should be done weekly or at least monthly if time is an issue.

Thank you to everyone who responded.  I got some good suggestions which I
plan on trying.

Just incase the responses I have received weren't sent to everyone, and also
to make an easier-to-read reference for the future -
Dilute acetic acid.
xylene for waxy buildup
Greased Lightning cleaner  (store bought)
50/50 bleach mix - let sit for a while.
warm water flushes in fixative and first alcohol

The only response I received before changing the solutions was the dilulte
acetic acid which we tried but did not find effective.

Hi Dave,



I noticed that you posted a request in march of 2004 on histonet for a
Sirius red fast green staining protocol. If you do have a protocol, would
you mind sending it to me. I have had a hard time finding one to compare to
mine and my lack luster results.



Thank you,

Hi all,

I have received some lung samples on OCT. These lungs have not been in
PBS or any fixative. They went directly from dissection into OCT and
frozen.

I cannot get a section. The temp of the cryostat is -20. I have done
some reading and it seems the best results come from immersion in PBS,
then 4% paraformaldehyde then into sucrose. Can anyone clarify the
procedure or offer advice? I am unfamiliar with this technique since
most of my frozen sectioning is heart tissue and it does not present the
same problem as the lung.

Thanks,

Betsy

We inflate our lung tissue with a thin OCT compound (50% OCT/ 50% 0.5M sucrose mixture) using a needle and syringe and then embed the lung in 100% OCT and snap freeze. It helps for interpretation to have open alveoli and also gives the tissue some stability internally for frozen sections.

Hello all!

Roche has decided to stop manufacturing herring sperm DNA.  I thought this
would be an easy product to replace but apparently there's roughly ten
bjillion versions of herring sperm DNA.  I have no idea whether ours was
sheared, sonicated, molecular biology grade, etc.  It just said herring
sperm DNA on the label.  Any suggestions on a replacement? We are using
this, btw, in hybridization buffer for RNA in situ on chick embyro sections
on slides.
I called Roche and asked tech services what their replacement would be, but they just said, here's another DNA product which uses the term hybridization in its protocol, COT Human DNA, read the tech sheet to see if that's a good replacement. Of course, the tech sheet says nothing about whether it would be good in in situ hybridization buffer, just that it's good for suppressing
cross hybridization in DNA microarrays.  The really frustrating thing is
their DIG in situ hybridization protocol calls for herring sperm DNA.

Thanks, to all you responded to my question about times for FS. CAP says 20 min. and that's what most everyone else said. Kathy

CAP requires an explanation as to why any FS diagnosis takes more than 20 minutes after the sample reaches the lab.
The average time is 15 minutes.

Good morning histoland.  What is the maximum time allotted for frozen
section per block?  Is this written in CAP regs?  JCAHO regs?
Thanks, Kathy Gorham H.T.

Hello Histonetters

I am currently looking to add three new antibodies, napsin, D2-40 and
villin. I stain only human FFPE tissue. If anyone has used these antibodies
I would appreciate your input. Thanks in advance.

Hello fellow histonetters, we're in the process of researching bar
coding/specimen tracking system for our lab and I was wondering if
anyone had any recommendation of any particular system and/or vendor
