[Histonet] Question about Control for Ramnowski Stain
Hello Histonetters, I'm looking for what the best paraffin control to use for a Ramnowski stain to show differentiation in the tissue (not blood or bone marrow)? Thanks as always for your help!

RE: [Histonet] Leica ST5010/ST5020 vs Ventana Symphony
We use the Lecia ST5020 for our paps and it performs just fine. We looked into a Symphony but reagent cost was too high for us compared to what we pay now. For those of you who currently use or have used any of these instruments: Why did you chose it and how do you like? If you've used both, which do you like better and why or why not? We're currently manually testing. We're considering moving our lab into this century and need a little advice.

Re: [Histonet] metal base molds for paraffin embedding
To all: We need to order metal base molds for paraffin embedding. We need a size @45mm(L) X 32mm(W) X 11mm(D). (We have some, but have no idea where and when we ordered them). I have looked in several catalogs but can only find a depth of 5mm. The depth is the important part. If someone knows where I can order these, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

[Histonet] CAP question
This will be my first CAP inspection. We are switching from JCAHO. Somewhere I read that we need to have a grossing room manual that would have all the procedures on how to gross anything and everything that would come through the Histology Lab. Is this true? Does anyone have a sample that they are willing to share with me? Thanks, Kathy Gorham H.T.

[Histonet] grossing manual
Yes, you do need a standard procedure manual for the management of all of your specimens. Life has gotten more complicated with the reporting standards now in place for reporting cancer which includes the gross examination. A good start for the non-neoplastic cases would be the appendix of a good surgical pathology text like Rosai (i haven't seen the latest editions, but i think it is still there). Other standard references also have this information. And then, go to the CAP website and download the standard protocols and convert them to how your pathologists want them. All of this may be online, but you also need a copy in the gross room. It's a pretty sizable job if you don't have any of it done already. Bill Tench Associate Dir.
