[Histonet] Storing slides in buffer

2011-03-16 Thread Stacy Deppeler
Hi guys,

I am wondering if anyone has much experience storing slides in buffer
(PBS-T) after retrieval for up to about 48hrs at 4C? Is it likely that they
will still stain? Or is it going to be entirely dependent on the epitope?

I'm optimizing research antibodies right now and I'd like to decrease my

We have been troubleshooting complaints of hematoxylin staining light in our 
HE. The main complaint is no differentiation between the nucleus and 
cytoplasm. We are using Richard-Allan hematoxylin ,eosin,clarifier and bluing. 
We tried surgipath, changing times, pH the H2O and any other thing we could 
think of, but the problem remains.  Does anyone have a suggestion?  Velma Jordan

 Hi Betsy, 
 
 Let me start off by saying that I am by no means an expert on what's 
 preferred. However, in my experience, I've come to find the Bielschowsky 
 method very useful for staining nerve fibers, but I would not consider it so 
 for demonstrating axonal degeneration. I would suggest that you maybe 
 consider Eager's method for degenerating axons. Unlike Bielschowsky's, 
 Eager's actually distinguishes those fibers that are normal from those that 
 are degenerating. 
 
 I hope this helps.

[Histonet] CONTROLS

2011-03-16 Thread Sheila Fonner
Hello everyone,

 

I have an issue that I would like some help with.  We are currently running
SMM-HC and E-Cad on Breast cores and specimens from a derm lab.  With the
regulations being so strict regarding the processing times of breast
specimens, how are you all dealing with that when it comes to your control
tissue?

 

We have to acquire breast tissue from outside sources to use for control,
but it is very hard to get it within that 24-72 hour processing time since
many hospitals will not release any tissue until the case has been signed
out.

 

Does anyone have any wonderful ideas on how to handle that?  I would really
appreciate it! Thanks histonetters.

[Histonet] Re: Storing slides in buffer

2011-03-16 Thread Andrea Marion
It makes sense that some epitopes might be more sensitive than others. For
48 hours, I would probably store in just PBS, and leave out the detergent
(I am assuming the 'T' in your PBST is Tween). Even though Tween is a weak
detergent, I would worry that long-term detergent treatment might dissolve
the cell membranes or solubilize some proteins, rather than just
permeabilizing the membrane.

I've successfully done staining for phospho-serine 10-histone 3, cleaved
caspase 3, and cardiac troponin T after an extra day stored in PBS at 4
degree.

Hi guys,

I am wondering if anyone has much experience storing slides in buffer
(PBS-T) after retrieval for up to about 48hrs at 4C? Is it likely that they
will still stain? Or is it going to be entirely dependent on the epitope?

I'm optimizing research antibodies right now and I'd like to decrease my
turn around time by knocking off the HIER at an earlier time point.

[Histonet] Making gram controls

2011-03-16 Thread Katrina Reek
Randi,
 
I don't have a written procedure to forward to you, but this is what we do when 
we make our gram controls. We use fresh tissue from an autopsy before it goes 
in formalin (such as lung, we've used placenta before as well). Then put a 
couple pieces of the fresh lung into containers labeled gram +, and gram - (if 
you want two pieces of tissue on your control; if you're Pathologists prefer a 
single tissue on the control with both bugs in them, the you'd only need one 
container).We get the next steps done with assistance from our Microbiology 
department. Pour broth (not sure what they use, can get that for you as well if 
you need) into each of the two containers and then inoculate the gram + 
container with the appropriate bacteria. Do the same with the gram -'s. 
Incubate the containers at 37degree's for 24-48hrs. We then pour formalin into 
the containers and let them fix. Dump the formalin and then put the tissue in 
labeled cassette's, process them,
 embed, and cut them to make sure they stain properly and both sets of bacteria 
are present. We then seal the blocks back up with more paraffin. They seem to 
last longer that way for us. 
 
I googled the topic, and these were steps I found online - although they were 
for micro, I altered some steps to fit into working for Histo.

[Histonet] Light hematoxylin staining in H%26EIn-Reply-To=

2011-03-16 Thread Ruppert, Amysue
We seem to be constantly battling this as well. We have found that the quality 
of the ethanol used in processing and staining can be an issue. We now purchase 
ours from a company at www.UltraPure.com. The quality of the DI or distilled 
water being used can also be an issue. We are currently in the process of 
getting off of our lab building DI water, and purchasing a Elix Advantage 
Purification system from Millipore. We also found that the type of Eosin can 
make a big difference. We have recently changed to Eosin from Anatech, and this 
gives us a very good end product with our Hematoxylin that we still make from 
scratch--yes we still make our own:)
 However, the best results we get are when we do not use the DI water that 
comes from our buildings water system. That is why we are working hard to get 
our dept our own purification system. It is a very long story how we have come 
to this decision. But checking into your water supply and the quality of it 
would be very worthwhile.
 Very few people realize or understand the importance of water quality for the 
histology lab. 
Good luck

We have a question regarding the qualifications of the operators.  The 
operators of the Aperio system are simply scanning entire slides to make a 
record for us prior to returning slides to the client.  Our operators make no 
evaluation of the image other than whether the scan is adequate for recording

[Histonet] Research and Clinical Labs

2011-03-16 Thread Michelle MacVeigh-Aloni
For 10 years I ran Histology lab for a large University. We used the same
equipment and lab for both animal and human tissue. 

I had to certify the lab with CLEA for human tissue at one point (and this
took serious work!). If you are already certified for human, using the more
strict regulations which apply to human tissue, won't hurt the rest, nor
increase in any way your time or effort involvement. You do it anyway. I
wouldn't leave anything marked for research unless it has proper label
with exp date etc.  

We received everything already fixed and most of the time in cassettes, so
there was not much grossing.

The processor ran the same night and everything was finished the following
day. No one, during any of the inspections had trouble with this. As far as
I remember, there was no question about this in any of the check lists sent
to me. 

It was 11 years ago when I parted with my Histo lab and I am not current on
the latest regulations, but as far as the technical part... there shouldn't
be a problem.

RE: [Histonet] CAP checklist, question ANP.23041.

2011-03-16 Thread Jesus Ellin
Mark this is a new question and let me answer this for you from a
inspection point of view.  Currently there are 15 to 18 new questions
that deal with predicative markers and the digital images, most of these
are QA/QC related.  But the issue with images is that your people are
inspecting them.  When you are looking at an image it is more than just
click and go.  There are technical issues of Tiling, focus with z
stacking, AOI ( if the full image was captured), magnification, etc.
This is just technical to images, but then there are the aspects that
are to the histology world as in staining components, microtomy,
fixation, etc.  To say that they don't make a decision is a huge
understatement.  As far as I know CAP put this in because people were
just scanning images and sending them off.  There are also issues were
the scanner scans for possible algorithm studies.  You have to make sure
this is inline.  So as for the High complexity testing to what CLIA
defines, that is a back and forth issue.  Currently within our facility
you have to be licensed HT/HTL to do scanning.  This comes in line with
the CAP looking at creating a QM program and having the
technician/Technologist maintain competencies and assessments for this
technology.  There is also a competency and assessment due for the
pathologist as well for this technology.  I can go on and on, but you
can contact me off line for this.
