Re: [Histonet] Specimen Accessioning .....

[Garreyf]

Same here .

Here is a summary of CAPs /NSH recommendations.
http://www.cap.org/ShowProperty?nodePath=/UCMCon/Contribution%20Folders/WebContent/pdf/uniform-labeling-summary-of-recommendations.pdf

If the link doesn't work, just google if you want.

I guess you can do it either way.
But, specimens designated as letters is most popular in my experience and the 
best way to do it in my opinion.

Re: [Histonet] Specimen Accessioning .....

[Marcum, Pamela A]

Most places I have been use the block as numeric and the part as alpha; 
15SR1235 A (part) 1 (block) and etc.  I have not seen it cause an issue and if 
we go beyond Z as the alpha then we double back to an AA for the part and so 
on.  We just hope a resident doesn't go off track to often with the AA to 
whatever letter.

[Histonet] Leica CV 5030 coverslipper and Fisherbrand Permount

[Kathleen Roberts]

To all-

We've been using Permount  in our Leica cover slipper, but we have noticed
that after a while, the Permount seems to get too thick and the machine
doesn't dispense enough on the slides even after cleaning out the nozzle. 
Previously I just switched out the "old" Permount (saving it for manual
cover slipping) for a new bottle, but has anyone tried to re-dilute it
with toluene and put it back into the machine?  If so, how do you do it?

Thanks so much,

Re: [Histonet] plants in the lab

[Caroline Miller]

yes to all Paula's points!

Plants make people happy and NASA has proved they are also very good for 
protecting our people in the lab. I just ordered 4 plants for our lab and I 
think other people should too! 

There is a point where regulation goes too far, and IMHO, not allowing plants 
in lab is a case in point 

Happy hump day everyone 😄

Re: [Histonet] PAS Stain

[Mayer,Toysha N]

We use the hematoxylin that is used on the H&E stainer.  While I know it is not 
optimal, the pathologists should be  used to looking at it so it makes things a 
lot easier.  The time is cut down to less than 30 seconds and we do not use a 
differentiator.
For the students, it helps them to understand the versatility of the dye and 
its multiple uses.  They don't get confused and are pleasantly surprised when 
they find out they can use another formulation while they are at their 
internships.

Just a question...what kind of hematoxylin do you use as a counter stain for 
your PAS stain and do you use a differentiator?

Re: [Histonet] Patti Loykasek - k/L staining

[Cindy Bulmer]

Hi Tim,I use the Dako Kappa and Lambda, Poly Abs.  With the Kappa, my titer is 
1:80,000 and the Lambda is 1:250,000.  I use the Innovex Rc Receptor Blocker as 
the diluent, this seems to cut down on a lot of the background.  My 
Pathologists are very happy with thesestains.  I use tonsil for my positive 
controls.Hope this helps,

Thanks to you or anyone else that can help with this.

From 2005...

Kappa and lambda are certainly difficult to interpret. They both can be
present circulating in the serum, thus the "background" staining in most
tissue sections. We use polyclonal antibodies, and get quite good results.
We use a tonsil as a control as bone marrows are just too precious & small
for us to use. We look for the plasma cells to be staining with a dark
cytoplasmic stain & a slight "blush" to the germinal centers of the tonsil.
It does take a pathologist skilled in interpreting them. A true positive is
in the cytoplasm of the cells, not in-between the cells (due to circulating
K/L). We do use one titer for lymph nodes, and another for bone marrows & GI
biopsies.  Plus a different titer & pretreatment if we're looking for
amyloid.
Well, I hope I've helped & not confused you. I'd be happy to do my best to
answer any questions that you have.

Patients do not have to go to the fungal spores, the spores will go to the 
patient.
Depending on spore size, the spores may stay airborne for months - the spores 
"sediment" to a surface in still air. 
A condition not likely to occur in a hospital environment - they scurry around 
until finding a lung or mucous membrane to adhere to.
