[Histonet] old dyes
I was just given some old bottles of dyes (powder form) (20+ years old), from a lab that was cleaning out there cupboards. I kept about 2/3 of them. The rest I either already had, could not figure out a use for them, or they are no longer being made (so if I found a use for it, once that bottle was gone, the procedure could never be done again). Is there anyone out there that can use some old dyes, maybe some vendor that holds on to old dyes, to refer back to them to try to create new dyes? Please email me at work (pw...@beaumont.edu ), not via Histonet, which goes to my home. I can send you the list of dye powders. Peggy A.

[Histonet] Paraffin vs. Cryostat

[Histonet] Polymer detection kit
Dear Histonet fellow, I am planning to use Bio care detection kit -MRT511 (for mouse monoclonal antibody on rat kidney FFPE) and RMR622 (for rabbit polyclonal antibody on rat kidneyFFPE) Do i have to buy any additional reagents to perform the staining.(specially blocker or antigen retrieval) Any feed back on their results and trouble shootings are welcome.

RE: [Histonet] Polymer detection kit
I use the Biocare polymers all the time because they are cheaper than DAKO. Some of them are biotin free, so as long as your primary has no biotin and you aren't staining anything with endogenous biotin you can omit that block. Other than that enzyme and protein blocking I still do. Some of them are a two step process and some are one solution. They work great! Just follow the protocol included with the polymer =) Good Luck!!

[Histonet] Double staining with x-gal and TCR-beta
Dear Histonetters, I am trying to do a sequential double staining against beta-galactosidase and leukocytes in frozen mouse prostate tissue and have had little luck so fare; when I stain for x-gal or TCR-beta alone, they show up fine, but combined the protocols only the x-gal shows up. What I have been doing is this: Airdry for 5 min Fix slides in cold acetone for 10 min Wash slides 3x5 min in PBS Add x-gal Incubate overnight in humid chamber in the dark Wash in pbs for 5 min Incubate with blocking serum for 20 min Wash slides 5 min in wash buffer (10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.5, 0.9% PBS) Incubate with primary biotin-antibody overnight at room temperature Wash as before Incubate with ABC for 30 min Wash as before Incubate with DAB for 5 min Wash in tap water Mount Any suggestions would be very welcome - is this even possible or should I try something else?

RE: [Histonet] How many tissues an histotech is suppose to cut perhour?
My hospital, like most, use benchmarking when examining how many people are needed to adequately provide services in any given area. Benchmarking data is widely available for most clinical lab scenarios but can be a bit lacking when it comes to pathology laboratories. I agree that the number of blocks per hour a histotech can cut must be examined in relation to the quality of those blocks. If I am anticipating an increase in workload and want to justify hiring more techs, it is invaluable to be able to cite national statistics, how my lab compares with them currently, and what I would need if my anticipated block count is anticipated to go up by a few thousand. Given that the information will be used to justify existing or future positions, would it be a fair statement that nationally, most histotechs average 24 blocks per hour (based on Jan's formula)?

Well said Pam. All the speed in the world means nothing if you can't produce quality slides. The suggestion to do things the same way every time is a good one.

I agree with Tom. Janice is correct on her timing numbers. However; when you are starting out it is best to get the flow for working at your station than beating a clock. You will gain your speed with learning accuracy which is more important for the patient at the end. We are in patient care not NASCAR and should always remember patient first, which translates to accuracy and the best sections we can produce on every slide. Speed will come as you do more blocks and get better.

[Histonet] Fwd: GMS counterstain
Ally - I have worked with several pathologists who were color-blind -one to greens; one to blues. As a result we counterstained the GMS with different colors. A counterstain is just that. It gives a color to secondary tissue elements. Light greens, hematoxylin, metanil yellow and nuclear fast red were used. All worked well, photographed well and were the choice of the pathologist. Many older pathologists grew up with the procedure outlined in the AFIP manual which stated green. But other pathologists are more amiable to trying other colors. Maybe you should just as them what they prefer. Cheryl ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
