[Histonet] Microwave Tissue Processing
Hello all, I had an opportunity to demo a microwave tissue processing unit for my students. Is anyone using microwave technology for tissue processing and if so, could you please provide me some information on your experience with this? There are many pros that I can see, including its ease of use and quick processing time which fits well with the student lab schedule. I am wondering, however, what the likelihood will be that students will use this technology once in the field. I don't want to do them a disservice by not using conventional tissue processing methods. The majority of hospitals in the CT/MA area use conventional tissue processors. Thank you.

RE: [Histonet] Microwave Tissue Processing
I have used a couple of vendor's MW processing instruments over the past 8-10 years. So it is used, even if it has not become as commonplace as conventional in every setting or market. It seems to be more favored in high volume settings, for pretty obvious reasons. In teaching and instruction * my opinion * - you should teach them the theory and fundamentals for practice for ALL the possible tissue processing technologies they may encounter, and this is consistent with the approach to practice of the topics on the ASCP exam.They have to know the fundamental basics and then it is easy to expand to more emerging practices and technology. It would be more of a disservice to me if you left anything( either conventional technology or MW out), in your treatment of that topic.

RE: [Histonet] Re: GI biopsies
Yes Dr. Richmond GI biopsies are prone to processing issues and shatter/chatter artifact. I like to put three true levels on one slide with unstained for later SS IHC , OR put two parallel ribbons on one slide, ( 2 slides of 2 ribbons, for 4 actual levels). I put three ribbons for Hirshsprungs on each slide to provide the section numbers without making multitudes of slides. I have a hard time getting this accepted- The pathologist almost always wants three ribbons on 2-3 slides, and I think that is because only some of the sections are truly readable- the section quality is too variable for these specimens for them to feel comfortable. I like to reveiw these under the microscope since when they are tiny, it is hard to see the shatter, folds and fragmentation on the water bath. I agree it is definately a quality problem to be addressed.

RE: [Histonet] Re: GI biopsies

If an H.pylori or AB/PAS is ordered we choose two sections from the middle ribbon. I check the quality of the slides before handing them out to the pathologists. I encourage the pathologists to share any unhappiness they have with our microtoming and work to improve the problem ASAP.

Re: [Histonet] Re: GI biopsies
I prefer to put 3 true levels (2 sections off of 3 different ribbons, 50-60 um between levels, given adequate tissue size), picking up the sections horizontally on the slide. In this way you get 6 diagnostic sections on one slide. Saves space on the stainer. I find you really have to stress adequate hydration/cooling of the blocks to avoid artifact, especially in a lab where the bxs are not run on a separate processor/ protocol. This doesn't mean you can leave blocks floating in your icetray while you go to lunch. But a good 5-10 mins on ice really helps. Also, I find I physically slow down my microtome stroke a little when cutting GI bxs, and cut nice long ribbons. The sections in the middle of a long ribbon will exhibit very little variability in thickness. When you see a slide with 3 sections on it, each of a different thickness, it's usually the result of an inexperienced or rushed tech cutting 3-4 section ribbons without allowing for adequate cooling/hydration time. I have also frequently QC'd slides in which the first slide is good, but the next 2 levels progressively deteriorate. This is due to inadequate hydration/cooling between levels. Again, it behooves everyone to really slow down and take your time cutting GI bxs.
