[Histonet] Leica 2030 digital counter

[Marti Morales]

Hello all:

Does anyone know how to fix a microtome digital counter?  My counter on 
my microtome keeps increasing  and displaying  random numbers  upon 
each  microtome cut.   Does this mean I have to change out a battery or  
that something is in need of maintenance? Any suggestions?


Thanks for your help in advance.

Kind regards,
Marti Morales-Ensign

Re: [Histonet] RE: decalcifying bone marrows after processing

[Richard Cartun]

Hi Becky:

How long is the specimen in formalin before you put it in Cal Rite decal? 
Thanks.

We process bone marrow biopsies the same day received. We use a combination 
decal/ fixative solution (Cal Rite decal) with good results. We keep in this 
solution a minimum of 3 hours before moving to 
tissue processor where first 2 solutions are a total of 3 hours in 
formalin. Although most bone marrow biopsies are received by 2:00 - 3:00pm; 
we've had some received as late as 4:00pm with good results. 
Our clinicians place the bone marrow core in pre-filled formalin at the 
point of collection, also. 

The Cal Rite is a combination of formaldehyde, formic acid and methanol.

Subject: [Histonet] decalcifying bone marrows after processing 

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with, or is it even possible to, 
decalcify bone marrows after they are processed. Our pathologist would like to 
be able to process bone marrows the same day we receive them, but most of the 
time there just isn't enough time to allow for proper fixation and then proper 
decalcification. She asked if we could process them and then decalcify and I 
have yet to find an answer to this question. Please help!! 

Thank you,

RE: [Histonet] We need a cryostat

I have not looked for a new cryostat in several decades, but need to decide
on something before next Wednesday.

It will be for low volume, primarily breast sentinel nodes, a few per week.
Our equipment dealer only carries one: a Sakura Tissue-Tek Cryo3. I suspect
this would be adequate, if not overkill.

I wondered if anyone was familiar with this cryostat, had any comments or
suggestions for other machines.

Thanks,

Bill
