I bet you might be able to find something in the hardware store that would work 
for this.  A metal bracking or something like that

Does anyone know of a giant  tissue embedding tamper for the giant cassettes. 
For whole-mount prostate. The mold is about 6cm x 4 cm (1-5/8 inch x 2-3/8 inch)

Thanks for any info!

[Histonet] Filtering stains

2013-12-11 Thread Alison Romano
Hi! I wondered if anyone has ever heard that filtering stains weakens them.
If so, which stains? We do a stain here called a "Combination M" stain,
which uses Mallory's, and we do not filter it.  Alison Romano HTL-ASCP,

[Histonet] Plant Pathology

2013-12-11 Thread Heather Marlatt
Do any of you knowledgeable Histo-folks work with plants?

I have a researcher that wants to use FISH probes on some plant samples and
I have never prepared plant tissues.

If anyone out there has some tips/protocols/recommendations I would really
appreciate it.

Thank you!

[Histonet] Best place to Buy Slides boxes preferably True North.

2013-12-11 Thread Lewis, Patrick
Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me the cheapest place to get True North Slide boxes (100 slides 
purple box)

VWR has them for about $33.00 EACH.

We get a shipping discount with VWR but there has got to be a cheaper supplier.

Baring that, can anyone recommend a good 100 slide storage box.   Preferably in 
the $10-20.00 per box range.

We use a paraffin scraper - it looks like an oversized ice scraper for your 
car, however it gets the debris off and in pile so it's easier to sweep it 
away.  Then every couple of months, it's stripped and waxed.

Ice thingy (removes the ice from car windshield)  hey I live in Houston, we

Happy Hump Day!

What is everyone doing to clean floors of paraffin?? Does anyone have any great 
secrets to how the floors are cleaned of the debris?

Thanks for any input!

Roxanne,
I agree with your interpretation, as does the director of our billing. Our 
coders are going to have fun. We are putting the burden of them to correctly 
bill / code according to payor, as accessioners and pathologists will not have 
the relevant information to make that call.

We use a paraffin scraper - it looks like an oversized ice scraper for your
car, however it gets the debris off and in pile so it's easier to sweep it
away.  Then every couple of months, it's stripped and waxed.
