[Histonet] THICK AND THIN SECTIONS ?

2015-05-20 Thread Klaus Dern
Do you have one of the following microtomes and the advance mechanism is
worn out.
( too much play between spindle and spindlenut )

REICHERT/JUNG  2030
LEICA/JUNG 2035
LEICA   2025
LEICA   2030 Biocut
LEICARM  2125/2125 RT
LEICA  - CM  1850 Cryostat
SAKURA  SRM  200

You could be faced with purchasing a new Microtome. ( No parts availability
)

Rather than replacing these excellent Instruments, I have a PERMANENT
solution to fix this problem.

Re: [Histonet] dehydration time for a relatively large sample

2015-05-20 Thread Rui TAHARA
Hi, 

Thanks for prompt response. 
We unfortunately do not have a processor in our lab at university..The protocol 
i wrote was working in quail embryonic samples (just before hatching). I 
process the tissue manually and cannot process the tissue with strict time 
schedule. Thus, I need to leave a sample overnight at some point. 

I cut the zebra finch head into anterior (beak) and posterior (brain) region 
and mid-sagittally in both. so each tissue sample is about 0.5 X 1 X 1cm cube 
at maximum. 
 
I have also tried short time schedule compared the one i wrote in previous 
email, for similar sized  sample (zebra finch beak). However, it never worked. 
Thus i prolonged the each step for the latest sample.  
It would be great if you could provide me the proper time schedule.

 Hi Rui
 
 Which processor unit do you use
 
 to me it seems like a wrong protocol.
 
 Maybe I can help you set up a better protocol - if you want - but then I need 
 to know size og your tissue, processor unit and what kind of clearens you use.
 
 Kind regards

 Emne: [Histonet] dehydration time for a relatively large sample
 
 Hi, 
 
 I am wondering if prolong dehydration time with 95 and 100% ethanol would 
 brittle the sample for paraffin sectioning. 
 
 I have been trying to section adult zebra finch beak and processed several 
 samples, however, 
 i failed to obtain a good section. It appears that the paraffin did not 
 penetrated the tissue. This may be derived from incomplete dehydration and 
 clearing before paraffin. 
 Because i have read somewhere that if the sample was sitting in 95 and 100% 
 ethanol too long it would be brittle and be teared when sectioned.  I have 
 processed only a beak (about 1 cmX0.5 mm). 
 Also when is an appropriate time to use vacuum? I am afraid that if i used it 
 at 100% ethanol, the ethanol would evaporate
 
 so far I have tried; 
 fix overnight
 decalcified few days
 walk from water to 70% ethanol; overnight 
 85%, 95% (2times change)  and 100 % (2 times change) ethanol; overnight   
 clearing; 2 days
 paraffin (2 times change); overnight
 
 Any suggestion would be appreciated. 
 Thank you in advance, 
 
 rui

Perhaps it might be easiest to put them on dropbox and post a link to the

 Does anyone have a training log or competency list that they would be

 have previously trained people with limited experience but never from
