Any concerns with the tape coverslipper? Occassionally we have had slides not coverslipped or skipped. Once it leaves our area, it looks fine, but later on some of the slides have dry spots but the coverslip looks intact. We also have the coverslipper at #4 for the flow of xylene.

Music is great in the lab if you can get the people to agree on compromise.if you have someone you know is very strict and you know Katy perrys I kissed a girl song is going to send them over the edge.

Re: [Histonet] RE: paraffin embedding mold for rat eye
You could contact Simport. A few years ago I got some deeper disposable molds from them and they work great with tissues that are too high for the regular molds (like the Tissue-tek molds). The only problem is that they only came in the large width and you waste a lot of paraffin. Another thought is Polysciences Peel Away molds. Worse case you could do the old fashioned thing and make a paper mold the size and depth that you need.

[Histonet] RE: paraffin embedding mold for rat eye
It depends upon how you are going to section the eye, we place trimmed rat eyes for retinopathy work in the small square base molds 15mm x 15mm . If we need to section past the optic nerve and also collect sections on the edge of eye we embed in the deep molds, that way we don't have to re embed the samples. Liz Elizabeth A.

[Histonet] RE: paraffin embedding mold for rat eye
Hi, everyone, Any suggestions for the right size of mold to embed rat eyes in paraffin? Where we can get them? The molds we currently use are good for mouse eyes.

Hi Histonetters!! Did you make a New Year's Resolution? How is it going so far? Of course I resolved that I will try to eat right and exercise and I am trying.

In 2011 I helped people make the move into a management role, relocate closer to family, shorten their commute, move into research, utilize their advanced degrees, get higher salaries, more desirable shifts and better benefits.

Re: [Histonet] RE: slide file storage to dry slides
Joyce, Interesting! What methodology are using to remove the coverslip and with what difficulty? I may be interested in changing to this medium. Are you using this same medium with Non-gyn Cytology and have you had any bleeding problems? Also we do not use Xylene. We use a substitute. Thanks! Debbie Debbie M.
