[Histonet] training logs

2015-05-21 Thread Finlay Finlay
Thank you to everyone who has emailed me example training logs.

A few people have requested that I share the results with them and it was 
suggested that I put up a dropbox link to all of those provided. I thought that 
this sounded like a good idea so I will do this later, if anyone would rather 
that I did not include their documents or if anyone else would like to add 
additional documents to this collection then please let me know today.

Thanks again

Re: [Histonet] Donating Old Microtome

2015-05-21 Thread Liette Tougas
Hi Heather, 

I do not know where you are located but we have 5-6 good old AO microtomes that 
still work very well that we are willing to donate.  They are in excellent 
condition as they were extremely well maintained over the years and, as a 
Biomed Lab technology teaching department, they have been used only twice a 
week for 3 weeks each fall semester since they were purchased, some 30 years 
ago!  They each have a disposable blade holder (high profile) and block clamp 
(vs original screwing block holder).  We easily cut at 4 microns on them. The 
offer is opened to anyone who can pick them up or pay for shipment.

Subject: [Histonet] Donating Old Microtome

I'm posting on behalf of a local researcher. They have been using an older
microtome that was previously donated by a hospital. It broke down recently
and they cant afford to replace it right now. It is used by the students to
cut their own sections so they just need something that can section at 4
microns. They are happy to pay the freight if anyone out there has an old
working microtome that they are willing to donate.

Thank you!!!

Heather

[Histonet] Formalin waste

2015-05-21 Thread Heckford, Karen - SMMC-SF
I was just wondering the Labs in the San Francisco Bay Area.  How are you 
getting rid of your formalin waste?  Are you Neutralizing your formalin like 
with Neutralex or having it picked up and taken off site?

Thanks,
