While I prefer to go by my own name, I recognize that some people rightly fear
to do so. An anonymous source may still have something worthwhile to say. 
Experience does not always teach well.  The wise and experienced Linus Pauling
and Erwin Chargaff were wrong about the structure of DNA; the brash young James
Watson was right.

That's true, and it certainly makes no difference if the person asking a
question hides behind an alias. But what about the person answering? Can you act
upon advice from an unknown source? Jane Doe might be experienced and wise,
whereas John Smith might be some pimply youth who only thinks he knows all the
answers.

According with the manufacturer, it contains a combination (melage) of acids

Hi listmembers!

Does anyone know the ingredients of this decalcifier? DC 1 decalcifier slow
from Labonord.

We have used it two years ago and I can't find the MSDS any more. The
internet didn't help either.

I know it consists of formic acid and formaldehyd, but I don't remember, if
it also contents hydrochloric acid.

 

Please help

[Histonet] Billing question

2008-12-09 Thread KELLY BOYD
Hi all!
 
Question for those familiar with all the billing regulations: If you use an 
antibody that is for RUO (research use only) or ASR (analyte specific reagent), 
can you bill the patient for these immunos?

Re: [Histonet] Billing question

2008-12-09 Thread Rene J Buesa
As your pathologists first because even when we charged for IHC to the 
patients, there was always a disclaimer saying that the Ab was for research, in 
spite of which, the charges were done (they are essentially for the pathologist 
interpretation).Hope this will help you.

RE: [Histonet] thermometer calibration

2008-12-09 Thread Joyce Cline
I have purchased a calibrated digital thermometer. I take the temps using
the calibrated thermometer and the regular thermometer. Compare the
difference and list it at the top of my Quality Control sheets for the
instruments. When the temps are taken everyday with the regular thermometer
they are listed on the daily record sheet. These temps should fall within
the designated temps. This worked for my last inspection.

[Histonet] coverslip issues

2008-12-09 Thread Denise Crowley

Hi all,

I'm looking for some help in choosing a new vendor for coverslips for  
the Thermo Consul coverslipper.  We have been buying coverslips from  
Thermo since we bought the instrument, and the last shipment (of 10  
cases) is from a new supplier and is not working in the instrument.   
The coverslip cannot be detected and the mountant is not dispensing.   
I spoke with the technician (Diane is wonderful) and she walked me  
through a diagnostic on the Consul and the instrument is not the  
problem.  Does anyone out there have a suggestion as to a coverslip  
that they know works in the Consul?  I have already tried the Vista  
from VWR (which is okay, but not perfect) and am eagerly awaiting  
requested samples.  Thanks for your help.
