[Histonet] Fibroblasts Floating on Medium after 24 hrs.
Hi I have started growing the human normal and cancer associated fibroblasts. The cells I got are from the vials preserved in liquid nitrogen and have seeded the cells on culture plates. Now after 24 hrs only very few cells are attached to the plate almost all of them are floating. How long should i wait for the cells to attach or remove the floating cells? I don't want to loose them as i dont have any backup for these cells. Thanks in advance for the support. ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet

RE: [Histonet] Submission of tonsils to pathology
Years ago, when I was in clinical histology, this was an issue being debated by our staff. We had processed thousands of tonsils, and never had a significant diagnosis. They were leaning in the direction of going gross only, when guess what - a lymphoma in a routine tonsil from a 14 year old. So we continued microscopic evaluation on all tonsils. I have now been out of clinical, working in research, for quite a few years, so the policy may have changed since then. ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
[Histonet] Re:Peloris users
Hello, We have been using this tissue processor for 1 year now. During the last 3-6 months, we have experienced an unreasonable number of cases reported with tissue contaminant in paraffin blocks. We use regular tissue cassettes as well as the biopsy and micromesh style. While using this processor I have also witnessed tissue fragment into smaller pieces while processing. Because the Peloris uses a relatively large magnetic stirrer, I'm wondering if this could be a cause for the contaminant. Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts, suggestions?

Wow, I feel like I'm listening to myself speak. We have the machine for about the same amount of time as yourself and yes we have had tissue contamination. I can't say it's super bad but we've had several cases recently where as before we rarely ever had it. Unfortunately I'm not sure what causes it and I think it got blamed on the grossing person or embedder in our cases. I'm interested to see what everyone has to say about this.

[Histonet] paraffin block disposal in NYS
As per NYS department of Health: Questions have also arisen regarding the appropriate disposal of organs and tissues which have been fixed for cytological and/or histological examination. Since the fixatives are considered to be hazardous materials, organs and tissues discarded with these chemicals must be processed as hazardous waste, except for blocks of tissue in paraffin or similar embedding materials. The latter prevent the fixatives from leaching into the environment and the chemical fixatives destroy any potential pathogens in the tissue block. Therefore, tissue blocks can be discarded as solid waste. Annette Featherstone ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet

[Histonet] Re: Histonet Digest, Vol 91, Issue 9
Hi, You could try Newcomer Supply. http://www.newcomersupply.com/products-positive-qc-histopathology.php They have an AFB control that they say has Mycobacterium sp. Tuberculosis positive and negative tissue in same section. That should work.

Nicole, we've been pretty happy with APEasy as well.

So I have used Pathlogix software for about 4yrs and I love it. It so super simple and have never had any problems. Well, except for one. The cost of leasing has increase by 19% each year for no apprearent reason. We are now paying quarterly triple what we leased it for 4yrs ago. The owner says cost are riseing due to the economy and prices are subject to change without notice. Really! 19%. Cause im pretty sure thats bad business and thats how you lose customer instead of keeping them. At any rate, I need to find a new company. I have looked into a few systems but the cost are hugh. We are a small derm lab with one reading physician and im the only tech. So I do not need a large system. I need to be able to generate path reports. Accession, create reports and logs for about 3000 specimen a year. I wish I could just purchase outright but will lease if we have to. I havent had must luck at finding software for small labs except Pathlogix. Love the software, not so fond of the company. Please tell me what software is out there and If you guys like it.

[Histonet] Re: Fite control block
Kimberly Artim, AST, HT (ASCP), Technical Coordinator, Anatomic Pathology, St Lukes Hospital Health Network, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania asks about a Fite control block. Do you mean a block of tissue with Mycobacterium leprae? It's preferable indeed to have lepra bacilli rather than tubercle bacilli in the control, since the two organisms stain somewhat differently. Obviously human tissue is extremely rare. Does anyone use leprous armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) tissue as a control? Does anyone know how to get it?
