[Histonet] Knife sharpener glass plate
I am going to go out on a limb here and ask what some may think is a really silly question. Does anyone have any rectangular( not the ones notched into a semi-triangle) glass plates that fit the AO 925? I also am seeking an instruction manual for it too. I was fortunate enough to be given one of these knife sharpeners by a very generous donor, but since I have never seen this model before, I am not sure how to refrost my plates. I received one rectangular plate and 3 of the semi- triangular ones. The sharpener does not appear to have anywhere to attach a mechanism that would hold the plates face to face so that they may be refrosted. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated. Valerie A.

In addition to its toxicity, chloroform dissolves methacrylate plastic, as I found out the hard way once when I tried to fix a specimen in Carnoy's fixative in a methacrylate container because I had nothing else. I've seen Carnoy's fixative used as a disclosing fixative for finding mesenteric lymph nodes in colectomy specimens. There's no excuse for this. There are a number of proprietary fixatives (such as Surgipath's O-Fix) for this purpose, or if you're allowed to brew your own, I use Davidson's fixative (3 parts water, 3 parts reagent alcohol, 2 parts 37% formaldehyde [NOT 10% NBF], 1 part glacial acetic acid.)

Hopefully, one of you can help me with a question which was proposed to me by a fellow histologist working in a very small GI histology lab. Here is what information she gave me: She is training a histology assistant in house to do all the histology technical responsibilities at the request of the GI doctors. She said her OJT assistant is doing a great job technically, but she has not yet registered in school to finish her AA Degree so she can sit for the HT exam. She has been working under her instruction for 1 year. Her lab is California State and CLIA licensed. The GI doctors want the assistant to cover for her while she is on vacation. The pathologist who is the medical director does not think that CLIA Regulations allows this and wants the specimens sent out during her absence. She needs the CLIA Regulations stating what the guidelines are so her lab is complying to regulations. She didn???t want to call CLIA because it would send a RED FLAG up. I also didn???t want to call them because they may ask me what the name of the lab was that was proposing this question. I told her that
