Re: [Histonet] demonstration of asbestos by means of electron microscopy
We showed aspestos fibers with EM by using a formvar coated 200 mesh grids. 1 micro liter sample solution was put on the surface of the formwar coated grid. The grid was dried at room temperature and directly searched with EM. - Orijinal Mesaj - Kimden: Rene J Buesa rjbu...@yahoo.com Kime: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu, Yolanda Davies yolanda.dav...@uct.ac.za Gönderilenler: 22 Kasım Salı 2011 16:28:29 Konu: Re: [Histonet] demonstration of asbestos by means of electron microscopy Many years ago asbestos fibers were demonstrated in hypochlorite digested tissues. The remaining material was filtered through Milllipore filter, washed and the fibers observed with polarized light. The Perl's method will stain no the asbestos fibers (that cannot be stained) but a reactive capsule the tissues secrete around the fiber, so it is an indirect method based in: if there is a tissue reaction to asbestos, they should have been present at a certain moment. As to its demonstration with EM I do not know but I think it will be very difficult to infiltrate the fibers in Epoxi resin to be cut. If you are able to do that: how are you going to identify an extremely thin section of asbestos? I think that you should either try the tissue digestion or give another try at the Perl reaction.

I received a request to show asbestos in lung tissue where there is definite interstitial fibrosis, but the presence of asbestos is not clear. Is it possible to reveal asbestos by means of electron microscopy? Usually asbestos is demonstrated using the Perl's Prussian blue technique, but most times they are elusive. Could it be because of the sampling site or simply the nature of the asbestos?

Re: [Histonet] Question about Leica TP1020 and its tissue basket holders
After repeating so many times the same sequence anybody can get confused, either you or your supervisor. Forget about verbal/personal instructions and follow the manual. It was developed to obtain a perfect sequence always.

In my laboratory we have an old version of the Leica TP1020 tissue processor. My question is this. My supervisor told me that after the machine finished processing the tissues on the next day, the tissue basket was going to be in the last container which is going to be the second container with paraffin wax. She told me that after removing the tissue basket from the machine I had to rotate the tissue basket holder to it's first station by pushing the the 'circle arrow' in the control panel which is the first formalin container. In this machine the tissue basket holder of both of the formalin containers are gray and the rest are black. (not sure ALL of them are black but I know that the ones that are for the paraffin containers are black). I want to know if this is correct because when I go to the instruction manuals and I go the Removing the specimens chapter it says • Lift the carousel. • Allow for the tissue basket to drain in that position. • Lift the tissue basket slightly with your hand and pull it out of the basket holder in a horizontal movement. • Lower the carousel. I got this manual online and its for the most recent Leica TP1020 machine but it is still the same model. It doesnt says to rotate the tissue basket holder to it's first station When I put the tissue basket with new tissues I placed it in the first station which is the first container of formalin, but what I don't remember if today I rotated the gray lid so it could be on top of the formalin container. I think I did it in the morning but now I have my doubts. I have always followed my supervisors instructions, what she told me makes sense but I want to be sure if the processing cycle is going to be interrupted or steps are going to be skipped if I don't return the gray tissue basket holders to the formalin containers, and just leave it like the machine left it after it finished the processing cycle. If you still placed the tissue basket in the first formalin container would you still have issues or is the machine going to follow the steps in order? Thanks. I hope I do not sound confusing. ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet

[Histonet] Survey
Please help me with my current assignment- Our institution is reviewing grossing standards of small biopsies (GI/GU) with the intent of formulating the best practice for error reduction (floaters, tissue compression and loss of diagnostic use). We are hoping to get national feedback from other institutions on the following areas of processing: 1. Are forceps cleaned and/or changed between individual cases or parts of cases from the same patient while grossing? 2. Are forceps cleaned and/or changed between individual cases or parts of cases from the same patient while embedding? 3. Does the use of paper towel constitute a clean work surface? (i.e. one paper towel per case/part) 4. Do you use forceps with teeth to gross/embed pieces that do not require sectioning? Thank you, in advance, for your input. -- Janice Fuller ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
