RE: [Histonet] Corrective Action Form

How true, but a lot of people don't understand that and get it all wrong! The 
inspectors just want to see the identification of problems, the follow-up and 
the resolution. The feedback loop.

 Corrective actions don't have to lead to punishment! Corrective action should 
 be a positive quality assurance. How can we make it better and not have this 
 happen this way again type of thing.

 Probably many of us have but it would be better if you consult with your HR 
 Dept. because corrective actions could lead to some type of punishment and 
 they have to be approved by the HR Dept.

 We recently had a false positive result on one of our immuno stains.  I
 need to write up a report indicating the problem and what the corrective
 action was.  Does anyone have a standard form that they use for
 Histology problems and resolutions that they would be willing to share
 with me?

We charge for two if when the specimens are received there is a clip on
one of the placental cords.  The same for twin placenta's that aren't
fused, if there is a way to distinguish between the two, we bill two.

[Histonet] protocol for Masson-Goldner trichrome modified by Ulrich

Hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to use the Masson-Goldner Trichrome stain, and I came across a
paper that used one that was modified by Ulrich.  There was no citation on
the paper, and I wanted more details to their protocol, i.e. how they made
their solutions.  The paper is titled Histology and research at the hard
tissue-implant interface using Technovit 9100 New embedding technique by

using it on hard tissue embedding, where we used methylmethacrylate.

 

Thanks for the help!

[Histonet] Tissue-Tek VIP 2000-3000

2010-08-20 Thread Fimbres, Amber

Mike,

I know I'm a little late regarding your question about Sakura's VIP 2000/3000.  
I'm not sure if you found your answer, but if you're talking about the VIP 
processor that uses a magnet to program, change stations, etc. (and is reddish 
orange in color and may even say 'Miles' on it instead of Sakura) you will want 
to think twice before purchasing it.  These VIP K (series 1000, 2000, 3000) are 
no longer serviced by Sakura nor are there many parts for them.  Sakura's 
manufacturer for parts has stopped making replaceable parts for this particular 
model (they are at least 20 or more years old).  You can go to Sakura's website 
or call their technical support, they will confirm this too.

Take care,

Amber

2010-08-20 Thread Joseph Saby
Mike-

Although Sakura is no longer making parts for the VIP 2000 units, there are 
thousands still in use around the country.  Most companies that service these 
units have been taking them in trade as people upgrade their equipment, then 
using these units to provide parts for units in trouble along the way.  They 
are 
very dependable (with regular water rinses and periodic PM).

Sakura does still makes parts for and service the VIP E300s, which is the step 
up from the 2000.  If the price were right, and funds were low, I would buy 
either. I have been using these units for many years.

RE: [Histonet] Tissue-Tek VIP 2000-3000

2010-08-20 Thread Nancy Klemme

Just to reinforce Joe's comments and clarify information regarding the VIP K 
series processors (VIP 1000, 2000  3000):

- Sakura manufactured these for Miles until 1993.
- The first two digits of the serial number identify the year it was 
manufactured.(82-92)
- Never purchase a unit without a serial number affixed to the unit.
- Sakura no longer services these units.
- Parts are no longer being manufactured for these units.
- However, many parts are still stocked by Sakura and available for purchase.
- Some new or used parts may be available through independent service companies.
- As Joe stated, be responsible with routine maintenance.
- They've been around longer than the (trademarked) Energizer Bunny.
- The fact that many people still use these models is proof of their 
reliability.

Kind Regards,
Nancy Klemme

Mike-

Although Sakura is no longer making parts for the VIP 2000 units, there are
thousands still in use around the country.  Most companies that service these
units have been taking them in trade as people upgrade their equipment, then
using these units to provide parts for units in trouble along the way.  They are
very dependable (with regular water rinses and periodic PM).

Sakura does still makes parts for and service the VIP E300s, which is the step
up from the 2000.  If the price were right, and funds were low, I would buy
either. I have been using these units for many years.

Mike,

I know I'm a little late regarding your question about Sakura's VIP 2000/3000.
I'm not sure if you found your answer, but if you're talking about the VIP
processor that uses a magnet to program, change stations, etc. (and is reddish
orange in color and may even say 'Miles' on it instead of Sakura) you will want
to think twice before purchasing it.  These VIP K (series 1000, 2000, 3000) are
no longer serviced by Sakura nor are there many parts for them.  Sakura's
manufacturer for parts has stopped making replaceable parts for this particular
model (they are at least 20 or more years old).  You can go to Sakura's website
or call their technical support, they will confirm this too.

Take care,

Amber

Re: [Histonet] protocol for Masson-Goldner trichrome modified by Ulrich

2010-08-20 Thread Jack Ratliff
What are your histological endpoints? What is it you wish to demonstrate with 
this stain? Is it Rodent? Canine? Bone? Cartilage? Microtomed sections? 
Thick/Ground section? W/ or W/O implants? I can help you with the protocol, but 
I might be able to provide more assistance.

 Hello everyone,
 
 
 
 I'm trying to use the Masson-Goldner Trichrome stain, and I came across a
 paper that used one that was modified by Ulrich.  There was no citation on
 the paper, and I wanted more details to their protocol, i.e. how they made
 their solutions.  The paper is titled Histology and research at the hard

 using it on hard tissue embedding, where we used methylmethacrylate.
 
 
 
 Thanks for the help!
