RE: [Histonet] Corpora amylacea are destroyed after antigen retrieval?
I am not sure if you are talking about the Beta Amyloid antibody, but if you are: the best way to do the antigen retrieval is 3 minutes in formic acid. Willem Van: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu namens Pirici Daniel Verzonden: di 18-2-2014 23:59 Aan: Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Onderwerp: [Histonet] Corpora amylacea are destroyed after antigen retrieval? Has anyone observed corpora amylacea on brain tissue being destroyed after antigen retrieval (for example microwaving in citrate buffer)? We are experiencing this problem, as we are interested to study these structures, and we are not sure if it is a common artifact when preparing slides for IHC... Thanks so much for your time!

[Histonet] Choosing a tissue processor
Hi everyone, Can you help us in choosing a tissue autoprocessor. At present we doing manual tissue processing and our work load is around 90 to 120 blocks per day which may increase gradually. These include tiny biopsies (e.g. gastric, pleural etc) to large specimens. Now we want to go for automation. People here are very poor for which we give the service at a low cost. They come from rural areas and staying for extradays in the city is very expensive for them. So we want to shorten the processing time as well. Also the technical hands are very scarce (i.e. if anything goes wrong with the autoprocessor). What would be the best technology for us? Microwave, linear, crousel or vacuum processor? Thanks in advance and regards, aikhan ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet

[Histonet] Xylene Resistant Labels
We went with a slide printer. We have used the Sakura (ink) and Thermo (ribbon) printers. Both have their good/bad points. There was or may still be a CAP regulation that if you have a label on the slide that the information had to be visible on the slide underneath (would have to be looking from the back). The reason was that if the label fell off the slide would still have to be identifiable. Lisa White HT(ASCP) Supervisory HT James H.

[Histonet] HISTOPALOOZA April 25 - 27, 2014
April will be here before you know it, so be sure and reserve your room at The Lodge and Spa at Callaway Gardens. Today's featured speaker is Skip Brown, NSH Historian. He's the guy you see at the NSH convention snapping all the pics. Skip is presenting two workshops, Optimization of Fixation and Processing in the 21st Century and Case Studies in Diagnostic Renal Histopathology. The first workshop, Case Studies in Diagnostic Renal Histopathology will be held on Friday, April 25th at 3:30pm. Participants will receive detailed information via handouts on the anatomy and physiology of the renal system. They will also learn the vital role that histology has with the pathologists as well as the clinicians. The second workshop will be on Saturday, April 26th at 1:30pm. This workshop will be great for people wanting to learn about fixation, including rapid fixation. This session is ideal for students involved in formal study in histology and a good review for those sitting for the Board exam. Please make sure you find Skip, introduce yourself, and have your picture made with him. You won't have to worry about selfie pics for Facebook, get Skip to do it!! I'm going to ask him if it's possible for him to Photoshop by thighs or double chin.

The meeting starts next Friday February 28th, and Saturday March 1st. The all day Histo Prep is on Saturday. We would like to invite anyone can join us to come on and see what we have to offer. We had Shane Jones doing Histology Registry Prep all day on Saturday for anyone planning to take the test this spring. Our program includes both beginning IHC and advanced techniques. Robert Skinner will be talking where Orthopedic Research and treatment are going in the future with interdisciplinary cooperation in many areas of medicine. Want to know the future of mobile Histology applications for our area. Dr Shree Sharma will discuss this with a glimpse at the coming applications. Safety for the new rules in handling waste and formaldehyde in Histology will be offered with Richard Best from Stericycle. A basic Microtomy workshop is being offered to help all of us cut better sections and improve our workplace for fewer repetitive injuries. Learn the Mysteries of Histology and how to solve them. These are the highlights of our meeting with other offerings also available. If you would like more information please contact me and we send you the full registration packet with the forms, program and abstracts to review. Thank You and Join Us!

Re: [Histonet] Retic stain kits
Poly scientific is the best. You can try Mercedes medical. They are probably cheaper.

[Histonet] GI medicare reimbursement rates
Hello my tried and true histonetters: I could use some help finding average reimbursement rates for the codes that would be billed to GI specimens. Medicare reimbursement rates for 2014 for 88305, IHC Codes, and special stain codes TC/PC and Global. I was wonder if anyone out there has a cheat sheet they'd be willing to share? Once again, thank you in advance!

[Histonet] Poster at USCAP
Dear Colleagues, If you are attending USCAP and get a chance take a look at this poster. A couple of years ago I was involved in an IHC HIER study to compare work done near sea level to work done at an altitude above 5K feet, it is the first work of this kind since I wrote an article about HER2neu at altitude in 2001, as far as we know. This study will be presented as a poster at USCAP in San Diego, March 3rd # 2108. This study shows IHC on the same 10 antibodies and same tissue, comparing HIER at different temperatures both at low altitude (work done at Emory U in Atlanta, Georgia with Dr. Cohen) and at an altitude above 5K feet (work done at IHCtech in Aurora, Colorado with Patsy Ruegg).

Re: [Histonet] Poster at USCAP
Cool, I am sorry I will get to go and see it. I don't think we look at those issues enough. I would even include work done in arid and humid areas as possible issues.

[Histonet] Grossing initials/IHC and Special Stain control check-off
2 questions: 1. How do you document who grosses in your specimens? Are their initials typed on the report under gross description or are they hand written on the paperwork that comes with the bx's - path requisition? 2. How do you document that the special stain/IHC (+) and (-) slides worked/failed? Do the pathologists sign off on each one or a tech? Do you have a certain paper that you send with your slides that they sign off on and give back to the supervisor to keep? Thanks! ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
