[Histonet] Microscope parts
Good Morning, I have been asked to order a new eye piece and a blue filter for one of our microscopes. I checked the company that makes the scope and couldn't really find what I was looking for. Any Suggestions? Thanks in Advance Amanda _ The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.

[Histonet] Coverslips
For years we have used coverslips from Mercedes - the ones in a plain white box labeled in German. This year we have begun to have problems with them being dirty and having bits of glass on them that cause air bubbles when used on the automatic coverslipper. Is anyone else having this problem? They have worked with us to try to resolve it, and have replaced several boxes, but the replacements are doing the same thing.

RE: [Histonet] Tissue Processors
We have 2 Peloris processors and run protocols ranging from 2 hrs to overnight. Several 2 and 4 hour protocols daily keeps a constant flow of specimens moving through the lab for those interested in LEAN small batch processing. As far as programmability, it 's all touch screen driven and easy. It's a smart processor so we don't change all solutions weekly. We only change the ones that are needed. The parameters that determine how long to use a particular solution are also programmable. Changing solutions is done by pumping out of the individual bottles and into waste containers and refilling is pumped from clean containers of solution back into the original containers. No heavy lifting required. Ours are in a separate room from our microtomy area so we hooked a simple door bell up to the local alarm jack on the back. When processing is done, we get the appropriate tone. Remote alarm is also tied in to the hospital switchboard in case a processor goes down at night or during the weekend. We really like the versatility and dependability of these processors.

Re: [Histonet] Tissue Processors
I 3rd the previous statements about the Peloris. I had 2 pelori at my previous job, and now we currently have 3 pelori. We are also looking at getting a 4th. We use them regularly and due to the ability to use shorter programs, we run about 15 runs a day between them while still having significant downtime. I must warn you though, it is necessary to keep the service contracts on them. They are about 99% computer and have a significant number of moving parts, but they do work wonderfully.

[Histonet] Modified Genta
Is there someone that could help out with the Modified Genta? We tried it in the microwave and we are not sure if we are doing it correctly. We would appreciate any sample procedures to see if we need to change something. Thanks to anyone who can help out. aama...@ameripath.commailto:aama...@ameripath.com ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
