Hi Allison,
It will depend on what you are using the Carnoy's for.
If it is for the removal of blood from smeared cytology preps then Clarke's
fluid, a 3:1 mixture of ethanol and acetic acid, works very well.
For fixation of tissue samples prior to processing to wax then you probably

Clarke's fixative has been known to work as a replacement to Carnoy's, it is

with chloroform is Carnoy's II.

We are currently working on implementing voice recognition for grossing (and
reading in the future). I understand how it all works but am having a hard

Hi Again in Histoland. I have another favor to ask. I was going to give my

California does not have licensure for histotechs. To my knowledge
California does not have any regulations concerning who can cut biopsies.
There are many labs that have uncertified people working without the
supervision of certified people. That being said, is this the only reason

Hi!
When I used to do whole body perfusion, it tooks me around 10 minutes to
perfuse with 0,9% salin and another 10 minutes with PFA. (Sorry, I haven´t
with me the rpm) but it was around 300 ml of each.
I think you have to increase the amount of 0,9% salin you perfuse (because
you have increased
each- ideally electronically-, or mark blocks ( various ways), all records
-for accountability and related to QC- all minimum of 2 years.

On the daily embedding log, do you have your embdedders initial each case they
embed or do you allow them to initial the first case on the page and then draw
a line down the page symbolizing they did all of those? How detailed should it
be? And, you keep these for 2 years like all other paper
