[Histonet] bromoform ingestion
Dear All Is it possible to demonstrate the presence of bromoform within gastro-intestinal tissues in histology? Bromoform is similar to chloroform, the anaesthetic agent, except with 3 bromine instead of chlorine atoms in the molecule and is clearly demonstrated by means of x-rays. All we know is that bromine is very reactive because it is a halogen being highly electronegative, so this makes us think that perhaps it would not be wise to place the tissues into formalin and so on, but rather to perform the test on fresh tissue. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet

[Histonet] Stability of Retic stain in Bone Marrow
Hi Everyone, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced issues with the stability of reticulin (Gordon and Sweets method) in bone marrow. We are seeing silver precipitant after ~1 week on our patient sections - our control is fine.
