RE: [Histonet] Benchmark Problems
Thank you everyone for the helpful replies and info. I followed everyone's suggestions while waiting for service and didn't see any significant improvement. Once the service tech took everything apart he found the nozzle that controls dispensing of the bulk reagents was partially clogged causing the bulk reagents to be dispensed unevenly (usually totally off the slide!) Things straightened out afterwards. Thanks again everyone! Mike Dessoye From: Mark Tarango [mailto:marktara...@gmail.com] Sent: Wed 2/9/2011 11:58 AM To: Dessoye, Michael J Cc: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: Re: [Histonet] Benchmark Problems Hi Mike, Did you wash the bottles and rinse them and then pump the water through the instrument before adding reagents and purging all again? We had a problem like this about 2 weeks ago. I think someone loaded the wrong bulk reagent onto the instrument. Cleaning it, purging with water and adding newly made bulk reagents fixed the problem for us. Mark On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 8:52 AM, Dessoye, Michael J mjdess...@wvhcs.org wrote: Hello, We started having a strange problem with our Ventana Benchmark XT. Out of the blue, our slides stopped staining. With most antibodies we get no reaction, some that were very strongly positive are now only very lightly staining. They do appear to counterstain OK. Following Ventana's recommendations we completely changed out all of our bulk fluids, purged the lines, changed antibodies and DAB kits. The last shot is some kind of instrument issue that's not triggering an error. Anyone ever see anything like this?

This used to be the technique used to obtain saliva samples for determination of ABH substance secretor status in the blood bank.

RE: [Histonet] Wage question for Wisconsin
The answer to that question may have to wait a week or two. At least here at the UW. Our wonderful governor is trying to get rid of the state workers unions and collective bargaining. He is trying to push it through (it was just introduced this last Friday), and the vote is slated for later this week. The techs at the UW hospital have fortunately signed their contract that is good until the reopener in 1013 and we are not strictly state employees. However, the way things are looking, it is not out of the question that he may also try to void our contracts. Our pay MAY go up, but we will no longer have much, if anything, for benefits. Don't count on sending your kids to the UW colleges if this goes through. Sorry, I'm fighting mad right now. I'm not usually big on the unions, but this is HUGE for millions of Wisconsinites. GGR! Claire Were there any other Wisconsin techs at the rally today? Even the Police and Firefighters unions were down there!

Re: [Histonet] Wage question for Wisconsin
The following link is to the ASCP Laboratory Medicine article from March 2009. They do the survey every other year, so there should be another survey coming out any month now. http://www.ascp.org/pdf/Membership-Communications/Wage-and-Vacancy-Survey.aspx Advance for Medical Laboratory Professionals just published their survey on Jan. 31, 2011. http://laboratorian.advanceweb.com/SharedResources/Downloads/2011/013111/MT013111_SalarySurvey.pdf Realize that even with a state, there can be several dollars per hour difference. Let alone the differences between states in a region. I suggest taking the information in the surveys, look at the relationship between HT/HTL, MLT/MT, and CT, and then apply the same ratio within your own institute. Hope that helps. Peggy A.

[Histonet] Section position on slides
I am trying to put together a training document around microtomy and sectioning and am finding it hard to find information around the placement of the actual sections on the slides. These are the objectives I am looking to answer. Is this information found in any publications? 1) Tissue / Section Placement: Are there published guidelines / documentation on precisely where you should place tissue sections on a 25mm x 75mm glass slide? Perhaps more importantly, where you should NOT place tissue (ie. “x” mm from the edge of the glass slide)? 2) Diagnosable Slide Staining Area: With automation becoming more widely used in IHC, are there published guidelines / documentation on the usable or diagnosable staining area on a 25mm x 75mm glass slide? For instance, would you define that as the area under a traditional coverslip? Would this be defined as the entire slide below the label? Or is this some distance from all the edges of the slide? With some automated systems, it is near impossible to get edge to edge staining. Is this acceptable? Thanks for any ideas. ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
