Re: [Histonet] Charged slides

2011-01-07 Thread Marvin Hanna

Hi Helen,

Plus is the branding for silanized slides, so they are the same. As  
far as magical, I'm not sure, but the silanization procedure  
covalently bonds the amino groups in APES (3- 
Aminopropyltriethoxysilane, available from Sigma) to the silicate  
ions on the surface of the glass, creating a positive charge on the  
slide.


Polylysine coating also puts a positive charge on the slide, but it  
is just a coating, unlike the chemically reacted covalent bond of the  
silanization procedure.


A positive charge on the surface of the slide allows for strong  
bonding with negatively charged formalin fixed tissue.


John Kiernan wrote a paper many years back on adhesives for slides  
that shows the procedure and chemical reaction in silanizing slides.  
It is available here.

http://publish.uwo.ca/~jkiernan/adhesivs.htm

Kind Regards,

Marvin Hanna

Hi, A question has come up regarding the different methods used to  
put a charge on the slide. We recently ordered some plus slides and  
the boxes they are packed in say silanized slides, but they say   
"plus" on the slide . We don't want to use these for our clients if  
they are not going to be getting the same results as the former  
"plus" slides that we were using. I was under the delusion that  
Plus slides somehow are magically charged without any coating  
process taking place.


So does anyone know exactly how a "plus" slide gets its charge? Do  
they all get dipped in APES, or Polylysine?


Thanks for your help.

I have tried to find this answer on the web and in references but I need
some help.  With respects to the Feulgen stain, how sensitive is it? Can
it detect smaller fragments of DNA? Does it have to be double stranded
or will single stranded stain as well?  Thanks in advance.

Re: [Histonet] Lost Blocks

2011-01-07 Thread Patrick Laurie
Here we take a picture of the blocks before they go on the processor.  We
have a barcoding system that lets me know who embedded what and when.  With
over 140,000 blocks/year we only have had one instance where a block was
lost between grossing and embedding.  Because we have some off-site
pathologists and grossing staff, our lab relies very heavily on tracking
every specimen that comes in, every block that goes to histology and every
stained slide that goes to our pathologists.

Good luck, it can be frustrating when you lose a block.

[Histonet] Toluidine blue staining of CFU-F

2011-01-07 Thread Adam .
Hi all,

I'm looking for a protocol to counterstain mouse CFU-F grown in tissue
culture**. The protocols I've found just say they counterstained with this
dye, don't say what it's dissolved in, sometimes list the percentage of it,
and never list the time they stained for. The only full protocol I found was
for staining of mast cells in sections, but that's dissolved in 70% ethanol
and very acidified. I'm not sure that's what I want.

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks,
Adam

I have a tech who complains about static/compression in our cell blocks, but I 
don't seem to have the same problem as her.  The difference? I face my blocks 
and then soak it on my waterbath for about 15 -30 seconds and then it goes onto 
the ice tray.  The additional moisture that is soaked up in the block seems to 
correct the issue for me.  Sort of like breathing heavily on the block!

I live in moist old UK and have always breathed on my ribbons, can't get
out of the habit, but do remember to breath and not too heavily!

On the cryostat front, I used to suffer from static terribly and tried
all sorts of things, but since using disposable blades have had fewer
problems. I just move the blade along or replace it and it often cures
the problem.

This is New Mexico where "humidity" is a rumor.  The humidity in the lab
here - as I write - is 18% and that's on a really wet day!  If I have
static issues with my ribbons, I just lean a little bit toward the block
and "breathe" on it and the ribbons just float (in a good way) off the
knife.  I do that so often that when I use my sewing machine, I find
myself breathing on the material.  That's just sad!  But try the
Breathing Thing.  Or not.
