I generally use CL Sturkey Extremus Low Profile Blades for pretty much everything...when I am having trouble with intestine sections, I use the DuraEdge Encore blade and it usually works very well.

To: "histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu" <histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu> Message-ID: <CAP=XX1x-xixxbVPHWoKc8HTe9-v=gmLSe+tAp7Obt8mGo=y...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hello Histonetters! We have been doing triple staining on frozen tissue for a while. Just recently it started to stain only near the pap pen (the sections have two lines of pap pen, one where they begin and one where they end). This makes no sense to me, as the staining isn't only on one end (as if the tray was crooked) but both ends and NOT the middle. Can anyone think of what would cause this? My boss came up with the idea that the solution is evaporating and therefore, it's more concentrated on the ends, but that seems a stretch. Then again, it's better than what I came up with, which is nothing! Emily "By bitching and bitching and bitching, they could exhaust the drama of their own horror stories. Grow bored.

The Ultra ready to use Abs are very expensive and there is no negative control. As far as we can find out, there is no prep kit that you can use with the fluorescence protocols to make your own. Ventana's solution is to put your negative slide in a coplin jar filled with buffer and then add that to your slide tray when you are done. We have the same issue with our Bond Max stainer - you have to use a detection kit for everything on the Bond so Leica's solution is to sell you a kit really cheap where you only use one solution and throw the rest away. Very expensive. Since neither one of these "solutions" is an acceptable one for us, we still do them the "old"way and are very happy. I would think that unless you are running a really large number of cases, even doing them by hand is preferable to running them on the Ultra. Just my opinion.....

Complying with the 24-hour grossing review by the pathologist is a challenge because my slides travel by courier across town to the pathologist to read. I receive specimens throughout the day and perform grossing in the early AM then again at 11 AM. My pathologist signs copies of the requisition that I fax over that contains the gross and sends them back to me. On a daily basis this works just fine. Fridays and holidays are a pickle but we manage. My question is the intent of the 24-hour review. The inspector cannot tell me why this was put in place, what the pathologist is supposed to do with this information and/or how to tell if it is accurate because he does not receive the slides until the following day which would be outside of the 24-hour review rule. Can anyone tell the intent of the rule? How does this rule improve patient care? Even in a hospital laboratory, once a biopsy is grossed and placed in a cassette, how on earth does looking at the written gross of how big the specimen is or what color it is impact further actions that can take place? What remedial action does CLIA expect?
