Message-ID: <CAF42Zx5Vtddn_=+k09msbts72x6n8rpvgvjfntehh2t9acv...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear all, I am learning the Movat Pentachrome stain currently (American Mastertech kit) and trying to stain coronary arteries. I have looked through literature examples but have been unable to locate higher resolution examples of arteries. I would greatly appreciate any example images from experienced histotechs on what the final stain should look like on arteries. Any comments and tips would also be appreciated! Cheers and thank you, Vivian -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- V Hou Bioengineering | Human Photonics Laboratory e: ho...@uw.edu | p: 206-221-3813 ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2017 02:40:18 -0400 From: Eddie Martin <edmarti...@gmail.com> To: Renee Fisher <rfisher0...@msn.com> Cc: "histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu" <histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu> Subject: [Histonet] PIN4 not working Message-ID: <3f1d53c9-df56-48aa-af66-6209ed0a1...@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi Kim, I was wondering if you could be more descriptive as to what is going wrong with your PIN4 stain? It's difficult to give a suggestion when we don't have any clue as to what your lab is visualizing. Is it the DAB? Is it the AP Fast Red chromagen? Is it reduced staining or no staining?

Our pathologists are all the sudden complaining that the cell blocks are consistently staining lighter than the other specimens. If you do stain differently, in what steps do you modify your protocol and how do you modify it?
