[Histonet] gel pad for microtome vibration

2011-12-28 Thread Nancy Schmitt
Good Morning-
I am looking for some type of gel pad to place under the microtome (or perhaps 
under the waterbath...) to help with vibration - the water in the waterbath is 
jumping all over the place.  Both instruments are new and the waterbath is much 
lighter in weight than the old ones.
Thank you for your help with this!

[Histonet] FW: standard for sm bx microtomy

2011-12-28 Thread Sharon Allen
Hi,

Is there is a standard used for small biopsy Microtomy?  I am wondering
how other sites cut their biopsies (ie the number of sections per slide
and the amount of roughing in between sections)?  I am also curious
about the number of slides per biopsy.

Thanks for your help,

Hi, Sharon.

We are cutting 2 HE levels per block, with 1 extra slide and 1 special stain 
slide in between - the special being dependent on the type of tissue-HP Giemsa 
for upper GI, PAS/AB for esophagus, Mucin for lung, etc.

Hope this helps.

 For the immunologic pAB cocktail we are using Protease 1 (4 min) and ab
 incubation of 32 min. The only problem is that mast cells are also
 staining, it is a side effect of the protease 1.

 I am currently having issues with our HSV1 and HSV2 staining tissue

  Does anyone out there in histoland have a concentration with a protocol
 that works and looks clean?

 Thank you for your help!
