Re: [Histonet] Dragon

I used it exclusively in GI lab for years and loved it but we only did small biopsies, so it was super simple. We use it now throughout the system I work in and there are a variety of opinions. Some of the PAs love it and some really struggle. Same with the pathologists. So we live in dual w

[Histonet] Dragon

Does anyone use Dragon while grossing? We are looking at switching to Dragon and wanted some feedback for use in pathology. Currently, we use M*Modal for dictations and then have transcriptionists type all of the information in Cerner reports. Thanks!! Amanda _

Good Morning Histoland, We're looking into requesting capital for a new microtome and we were wondering what other labs were using and would recommend. Thanks for your feedback! Kelly Kelly Pairan, BS, HT (ASCP)CM, QIHC (ASCP) Histology Supervisor-Anatomic Pathology Department of Pathology and

[Histonet] Vortex Mixer

I'm a Biomed at a laboratory and am trying to help my serology department locate a new vortex mixer. What do you typically use? They would like one that can do multiple tubes but be stable enough to run inside a BSC. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. _

[Histonet] leaky formalin containers

Has anyone been seeing a rash of leaky formalin specimen containers lately? Specifically the small 4oz red lid containers from a certain manufacturer? We are seeing leakage from probably 70-80% of the containers in the last couple of months. Multiple lot #s and multiple clinic locations. It is
