Re: [Histonet] Automated special Stains

2012-06-22 Thread Rene J Buesa
At this moment most histology equipment manufacturers offer special stainers 
but not all perform the same or are equally reliable.
The one manufactured by DAKO is very good and you will receive many comments 
about many others.
The automated stainer by Sakura is very good and reliable when you have 
numerous sections to be stained with some special procedure.
Try to make your decision mostly on the quality of service when something goes 
wrong and the price.

[Histonet] Tolivia and Navarro Epoxy Staining Procedure

2012-06-22 Thread Shanon Pink
Hello All,

Has anyone out there tried the staining procedure described in the
paper Polychromatic staining of epoxy semithin sections: a new and
simple method, from 1994, by Tolivia, Navarro, and Tolivia? I would
like to try it out on some thick sections embedded in Epon, but I
can't find any carbol methylene blue and wondered about possible
substitutions.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!

[Histonet] RE: Embedding beads

2012-06-22 Thread Morken, Timothy
Donna, 

Cancer Diagnostics has them, numbers 0 thru 9 and letters A thru E. Note, 
however, that the 6 and 9 are identical! They run about 2 cents per bead 
and come in bottles of 500.

They are flat on two sides so don't roll around. We've been using them for 
about 6 months and everyone is happy with them. 

We tried confetti but everyone complained about how hard it was to pick up the 
pieces. Plus shapes and colors are not as easy to decode as numbers. We have a 
chart posted in the lab with each persons number or letter so it is really easy 
to determine who embedded a particular block.

Re: [Histonet] Embedding beads

2012-06-22 Thread Alan Taylor

Hi All

We use Hamma beads to identify individual embedders on a particular day. 
Hamma beads will be well known to parents and child carers as tiny tube like 
beads that can be made into many patterns and then ironed (by adults) to 
make colourful place mats etc for children.


Hamma beads come in a very wide range of colours, in bulk bags from any good 
toy or handicraft store. They are very cheap and they are clearly visible 
when placed in the corner of an embedding cassette when filling with wax.


We have a small staff in our lab so the colours we have chosen are readily 
identifiable to an individual who has embedded a particular block. I can 
strongly recommend them, we have used them for a number of years as a 
traceable guide to a particular block. Hope this is helpful to all of you 
who are embedding lots of blocks each day.


Best wishes to you all

[Histonet] Muscle Biopisy Procedure

2012-06-22 Thread Ian R Bernard
Our lab never had the opportunity to perform a muscle biopsy procedure until 
now: we have a request for one.  Since we never did one, we don't have a 
written procedure.

We are looking for a  benchmark or proven written procedure to freeze and ship 
the specimen to the Joint Pathology Center in Washington DC for processing.

We will not perform any other aspects of the procedure, just the freeze and 
ship.

Hope to do this next week.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
