I ordered mine on ULINE.com and got it for $128.00 they also supply
the sticker rolls. This helped me as I get standing orders once a month.
I apply the received sticker next to the containers exp: date. When I open
the container and only use a portion. I circle the EXP: Date, and Received date
sticker
in Red and hand write the date it was opened.
This has expedited being able to put supplies away and looks a lot cleaner
during inspections.
good luck

Hi Marcus,
As stated previously by others there should be no problem putting the Eosin
into your sections but I would suggest that you do not leave out the endogenous
quenching so you can show your red blood cells. The reason being that there are
many other cells that may then show up as positive. Instead I suggest using an
Eosin/Phloxine mixture which nicely highlights the red cells differently to the
rest of the general matrix material.

Hi,
I usually try to avoid eosin as a counterstain for a DAB labeled slide
because the red/pink of the eosin can obscure the rusty brown of DAB. If
you really want to use it though I would suggest a *really* light eosin,
perhaps even just a few milliliters in the 95% ETOH as you are dehydrating
it. The RBCs and eosinophils will pick it up quickly and the stain should
not overwhelm the DAB. You could also darken the DAB with Copper sulfate.
Cheers,
Amos

Chad McMahan, NSH member, Region III, SC President, I agree with William
DeSalvo. We need to see valid tax records and not the readily formatted version
of the Presidents report. I would hate for the consensus of membership to be
easily swayed to believe that tax records to the IRS and accounting does not
show the same validity as the 2014 report. I agree with another colleague that
vendors or anyone associated with a for profit organization should not hold BOD
positions according to the original bylaws. We should change that this year and
not look back! What about Region III candidates to fill current position. We as
members want to do what is right for the whole organization. We would love for
our voices to be heard and not challenged. I would like to see complete
organization from the top down. If it means walking away from political status
and saying publicly and apology then do it. I have seen over the past year some
very influential walk away from NSH. I have seen people stay that need to go!
Let's consider taking it back to the basics without legalese jargon and
worrying if your colleague is going to sue you or not. When I look back at the
25th Anniversary Calendar of NSH I done see what we have now. It's a true
celebrated event over 25 years ago. What happened! I look at the leadership
current! What would Lee Luna think of what we have and insure that the legacy
continued? We would love to see the validity of the expenses please as
supporting members. We have the authority to seek and have answers met.
Best regards,
Chad M

suggestions for short cycle processing with conventional equipment
Message-ID: <5d4461f7-661b-4b33-9f3e-27d7679bf...@mcclainlab.com>

I posted our 7 year experience on this topic previously on histonet.
Remember, this machine (K3000, VIP5) was not designed specifically for this
purpose, but it can be made to work admirably.
IOW Short processing on VIP is unreliable UNLESS you are willing to accept or
control certain conditions,
1) only process well-fixed tissue
2) take formalin off this processor, making 14 changes beginning in 50%. If you
want to keep station 1 formalin and standardize fixation with time X in
formalin at temp Y, that may work. I prefer to change the tissues to 50%
alcohol at the grossing bench so that all tissues are not only fixed, but
rinsed in alcohol and started processing at the growing bench. This simplifies
processing to dehydration, clearing and paraffin infiltration. Simple is
reliable and short processing cycles on this machine leave little room for
error.
2) Program heat to 50C in all alcohols and xylene. Mixing pressure and vacuum
yes yes yes
4) Keep all solutions fresh, rotate after 200- 400 blocks.
5) Lay blocks out not more than 2 cassettes back to back, max 100 for VIP5.
4 hour is reliable for tissues up to 3mm thickness such as punch biopsy.
2 hour is reliable for up to 1.5 mm tissue thickness such as core biopsies and
shave biopsies of skin.
Method of processor validation for short cycle in machine previously validated
in your lab.
To validate create your evaluation form and find a set of cases with sufficient
tissue small tissue to divide into 2 equal blocks. This can (and will) be done
on clinical cases if you are careful.
Print duplicate sets of cassettes.
Mark one half of case 1 yellow and one half blue (tissues will be processed
separately, 1 regular and one short cycle and then recombined into 1 final
block at embedding).
We held the short processed tissue cassettes in formalin and timed the short
cycle to end when the regular program ends.
Then the two blocks are recombined or embedded together so that direct
comparisons/measures can be made on one H&E and one on your most common IHC for
that tissue. If the H&E and IHC both work, chances are everything else will
also.
Modify your regular validation form or Create a form for scoring shrinkage,
measured thickness and length, staining reactions, shrinkage, holes and flaws,
have your path score. photo graph yellow and blue tissues under H&E and IHC.
IF you do observe shrinkage or other undesirable artifact, be certain that your
tissues are completely fixed at grossing and repeat.
If they are comparable in the oculars and to the camera, then show your work
and voila, there is your validation.

We are struggling with our humidity constantly.
Colorado is dry in the winter.
We use at least two humidifiers to try to keep humidity at minimum 30% due
to equipment manufacturer?s specs.
We have log sheets and thermometer/humidifier measurers to keep track of
humidity.
Standard for equipment seems to be 30 - 80% humidity per manufacturer?s
specifications of processors, etc.
Good luck

Hello,
I'm running HPV probes from Enzo on my Leica instruments, and we are noticing
background episomal pattern on 16/18 staining of cases that are strongly
positive for HPV 6/11, but not on cases that are 6/11 or 16/18 negative.
Is anybody experiencing this same issue and are there any suggestions.
I'm using Enzo probes, Enzo Stringency wash, Enzo mouse-antibiotin, and a
polymer detection kit.
Thank you

Colorado is dry in the winter.
We use at least two humidifiers to try to keep humidity at minimum 30% due
to equipment manufacturer?s specs.
We have log sheets and thermometer/humidifier measurers to keep track of
humidity.
Standard for equipment seems to be 30 - 80% humidity per manufacturer?s
specifications of processors, etc.
Good luck
