Dear Friends,
I am trying to section 25-50um thick paraffin sections of mouse brain. I
had success with 40um thick tumor sections but brain is very difficult to
section as such thick sections. I always use ParaPlast plus melting at 56 C.
Any suggestions on how to cut thick paraffin sections? Is l
Does this antibody detect little lies?
Sorry, short week and am anticipating the turkey!

Of all the concerns you have, the fundamental should be that xylene is very,
very dangerous from the health point of view.
Under separate cover I am sending you 3 articles that answer your fundamental
questions.
Ah, by the way, you do not need xylene to dewax sections, just use a 2% aq.

This links to an article since the language of the regulation is dense, hits

I have seen a couple of job postings that listed CLIA certification for
grossing as a requirement. Can someone give me some information on that
certification. I am currently doing gross in our derm office and I need to
know if I need to be certified.
Thanks

We use the CBG recycling system - we have 1 for formalin and 1 for alcohol and
xylene. They are workhorses and we have had very little issue with them.
Our solvent recycler is run every day - we rotate a week at a time between
xylene and alcohol.

Rene,
I am interested to learn more of your experience with isopropanol as a
clearing agent.
Does it take longer to clear than xylene?
For processing how many stations and how long are the times you use for
clearing?
How often do you maintain or change isopropanol - how many blocks per liter?

Thanks to all who answered my question.

Betreff: [Hi
I just learned that the heating element for the paraffin bath on our old
Shandon embedding center has failed, and the company no longer supports the
older models. Does anyone have a source for that part they could recommend?
Many thanks

Yes it is, TEM is often used for asbestos detection in lung tissue to identify
chrysotile and/or crocidolite (mesothelioma-associated) asbestos fibers.
There are a lot of publications out there...

The StainsFile page has some techniques, using polarizing microscopes.

Asbestos are usually very small fibers, and will not show up in every
section. Cutting thicker sections sometimes helps.

Dear all
I am a histotechnologist in forensics, Cape Town, South Africa.
I received a request to show asbestos in lung tissue where there is
definite interstitial fibrosis, but the presence of asbestos is not
clear.
Is it possible to reveal asbestos by means of electron microscopy?
