Re: [Histonet] HTL exam

2011-06-16 Thread Eric Eades
René is correct.  IHC stains are named according to the primary antibody
used, but it would be useless to ask questions about individual antibodies
because new ones are continuously developed.  Study the general method and
how it might vary (pretreatments, detection systems, chromogens.)

I believe that "IHC stains" (by the way, they are not stains but detectable

[Histonet] Surgipath VCP cassette printer

2011-06-16 Thread Scott, Allison D
We have a old surgipath VCP cassette printer that is not working due to
the print head going out.  We have had this unit for some time. Leica
has since taken over Surgipath, and they no longer support this
particular unit.  Does anyone know where I can get a replacement
printhead for this unit. This is the printer that our residents use for
making additional cassettes.  We have a Leica IPC printer that we make
the bulk of the cassettes on,and the resients are not allowed to use
this one.  Any help in this will be greatly appreciated.

Please help me understand, do we need to verify antibodies or validate them,
or is it essentially the same thing? Also, can I please get a couple
examples of the forms you might be using, perhaps email me a copy???

I'm still new to the IHC world and trying to get things inline as they need
to be.

Hello everyone,
I am working up new protocols for Kappa and Lambda ISH using the new
probes and the iView Blue Plus detection Kit from Ventana.  Since the
probes are ASR, Ventana says they cannot help.  I am performing the
stains on the Ventana XT stainer.  I have tried several times with less
than optimal results; any help here would be appreciated.  Thanks
