[Histonet] decalcifying bone marrows after processing

[Matthew Lunetta]

We have excellent sucess in decalcifying the bone prior to processing. We make 
sure the core has been in fixative for 2 hrs prior to the 20 mins in the decal 
solution (DeCal STAT). It is then rinced in water and placed in line for 
standard processing.

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,

[Histonet] Whole mount histology

[Gagnon, Eric]

Hi Dorothy,
 
I concur with what Rene has mentioned.  Main cost would be microtome-related, 
if you don't have microtomes that can handle mega cassettes.  Other 
process-related costs i.e. fixation, tech time, supplies wouldn't be much 
different once process was optimized.  In fact, tech time is likely reduced, as 
it may be quicker (depending on the tech) to cut 4-6 mega blocks than 18-24 
regular blocks.  
 
You'll also have to stain and coverslip the slides creatively, as they may not 
fit on your stainer.  Our pathologists did many cases, but eventually went with 
regular cassettes and processing.  It's a nice procedure to have available.  
 
Email me if you need more information i.e. specifics on supplies/process.

Re: [Histonet] Whole mount histology

[Rene J Buesa]

Dorothy:
First of all you have to be sure that the micrtotome you are going to use has 
enough cutting path to cover the embedded specimen.
You will also need the so called "mega cassettes" and "mega molds", unless you 
want to make them yourself out of plastic containers (for the cassettes) and of 
heavy aluminum foil (for the molds) as I first did in 1990 when I started the 
procedure at my laboratory. Instead of the molds you could use Leukhard's 
rectangles.
Finally you have to develop a fixation and processing protocol suitable for 
your specimens.

I am totally unfamiliar regarding whole mount histology as it pertains to 
prostate histology.  Can anyone in histoland assist me in finding information 
out regarding more specifics, especially in lieu of what costs would be 
incurred to implement this in a routine hospital histology department.

Appreciate any and all guidance!!
