Then air-dry or heat dry the tissues before deparaffinizing. Any water left in the tissue will cause wash-offs. Do not lower the pH of the silver solution.

It is my understanding that the requirements are not exactly the same as those for the traditional clinical lab. And until recently, the regulations were vague regarding our field. Right now, I am being told that to be supervisor requires a BA degree and 6 years of experience subsequent to receiving that degree. I am not sure that is accurate. If anyone has any information they can share, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Tanisha N.

I see by the header you reference NY state. I see by your signature that you are in Indiana. I am not aware of any CAP reg referencing this and, to my knowledge most labs have their own job descriptions written with their own qualifications listed. You say "...right now I'm being told..." so again, by who (whom). You also reference a BA, I'm assuming this means BS or BAS works as well. I personally know very good supervisors that are associate degreed and hold HTs. I also know supervisors that have bachelor's degrees and I wouldn't necessarily say that they are any better because of it, however I think that's a "truism" across a lot of occupations. Just trying to understand your question. Have a good day.

I have used this process on 50 micron sections mounted on gelatin-subbed slides and it worked fine. This time the investigator wanted thinner slides which promptly fell off in the staining dish!! What alternatives do I have for processing this tissue? HELP !!!!!
