AW: [Histonet] Fwd: SOP on embedding tissues of different sizes in same mold
We avoid to put specimens of different size into one cassette in general (especially with biopsies). If I have too pieces of different size with a clear cut side, I put them both on the ground of the mold. I think one could never precisly put a specimen in a certain level into the mold, if it doesn't lie on the bottom.

Do you embed in different levels depending upon the size, the larger embedded first and the smallest at the end. Or do you embed all in the same plane regardless of the tissue size. Are you able to justify and salvage all tissue on the slide.

AW: [Histonet] Fwd: Embedding skin
As a first information, we use sliding microtomes with the knife set in an angel (called declination). We embed straight, because areas of same concistancy should be positioned in one line and in the cutting direction. Areas of more rigidity compress the smoother ones, if they are shifted in an angle. If you have problems with the orientation of the tissue in the block, just turn the blockholder.

Re: [Histonet] Schiff : room temp or not
All chemical reactions (= all histochemistry procedures) are governed by the Van't Hoff law that states that every 10ºC the speed of the reaction doubles (if it is +10ºC) or is reduced in half (if it is -10ºC) so, if you use the Schiff reagent (that has to be stored at 6-8 ºC) directly, the reaction will take longer than if the reagent is let to warm up to room temperature. You can use it as you wish but if used cool the reaction will take longer and you will have to give it more time because otherwise the staining will be weaker. René J.

Re: [Histonet] Schiff : room temp or not
This is another example of the ignorance level of some Joint Commission experts that really do not know what they are talking about. The Schiff reagent (the hay yellow solution of Basic Fucsin) is temperature sensitive and HAS to be stored refrigerated or it will lose its reactivity in just a few days. René J.

Re: [Histonet] Schiff : room temp or not
Not ALL Schiff's NEED to be stored in the refrigerator. I use a Schiff's from Newcomer and it says to store at 15-30C (59-86F). It comes with a long shelf life and stains beautifully and can be reused a couple of times all at room temp. So why would I want to put this in the refrigerator?

[Histonet] RE: Cassette Printer
Yes, we have one. Our first one was a lemon, but was replaced at no cost. Ever since then we had no problems whatsoever with it. We like it, because it has a small foot print and the printing is very clear, even with bar codes. The cons might be, that you have to unload the slides after a while (maybe after 15 - 20 slides). But this is not even a negative for us. Bea Beatrice DeBrosse-Serra HT(ASCP)QIHC Isis Pharmaceuticals Antisense Drug Discovery 2855 Gazelle Ct.

RE: Re: [Histonet] Schiff : room temp or not
We purchase ours from Newcomer and it is stable at room temp. I check it periodically and have never had it go weak before the expiration date. That is one of the reasons I began using it was it was always ready to use. Newcomer does note that it is sensitive to humidity and to keep tightly closed. We wrap lab tape around the lid to aid with that. Jeanine H.

Re: [Histonet] RE: Noise reduction
I don't know if it's your PA not being able to concentrate, or your transcriptionists complaining about noise on the recording, but have you considered solving the problem on the other end? Noise canceling headphones and/or a throat microphone for your PA. A real throat mic, (not a video game accessory) works by picking up vibrations of the throat with transducers, so you don't get background noise. Voila! No noise in your PA's ears, or on transcriptionist's recordings. And your histotechs can still party! Sincerely, Jay A.

Re: [Histonet] RE: Histonet Digest, Vol 128, Issue 30
Rebecca, We use slide tray boxes with large index cards. We have first control slide - to prove block works. Then pre-cut control slides then one stained last control slide - to make sure entity is still there. And the block that is in use is stored in box with the slides. Index card notes control block, who cut controls, how many, date etc. We keep our slide boxes alphabetized and stored on shelving for easy use. Slide box is pulled anytime the controls get to 5 slides or less - Anytime a block is tested we keep a record (in our procedure manual) as to whether it is appropriate for that stain or not - it is numbered. We take block log sheet into pathologist to review controls - log sheet is a table with date, tissue type, block #, stain employed, acceptable for use, pathologist or technician initials. Does that help? Michael Ann Jones, HT (ASCP) Histology Manager Metropath 7444 W.
