[Histonet] Histology Related Questions?

[Va Paula Sicurello via Histonet]

Hello Netters,
I am taking a research techniques class for my MBA this term and need to have a 
project that I can ask quantifiable questions.  I was thinking about 
productivity and benchmarks in the Histology and IHC labs.
If I send an email with my questions, will you be kind and answer them in a 
reply email?
I hope to keep it between 15-20 questions.
I even promise to share my results once I compile all the information.
Suggested questions are also gratefully accepted.
Toodles! Sincerely,
Paula

[Histonet] Hazard Communication Standard Labels

[Amy Johnson via Histonet]

Most chemical should be coming from the manufacturers with all the new 
requirements, i.e. Pictograms, signal words, hazard and precautionary 
statements, product identifiers and supplier identification.  What is everyone 
doing to get  this same information onto secondary bottles?
Thanks for your help

[Histonet] toluidine blue

[Nancy Schmitt via Histonet]

Hi All-
Is anyone using Toluidine Blue on air dried touch prep slides?  Specifically 
for endobronchial ultra sound specimens (ebus).  I am wondering if you can tell 
me what you are using for a toluidine blue recipe.
Thank you for your help-

Re: [Histonet] Do you check humidity and room temp for your daily QC in the lab?

[Elizabeth Chlipala via Histonet]

We do both, we only have criteria for the temp but we do record both in all 
rooms in the laboratory.  We use traceable wall thermometers/humidity units and 
replace upon expiration.   We have a few SOP's that govern this, we are a GLP 
compliant lab.

 Does anyone check humidity and room temp as your QC?  If so, can you share you 
procedure and QC form?  Do you use a company or do you monitor it yourself?
Thanks!

[Histonet] Temperature and Humidity check

[Wheelock, Timothy R. via Histonet]

Hi:

Yes, I check both temperature and humidity as part of a morning " lab systems 
check".

This also includes checking the fume hoods, distilled water, emergency eye 
wash, refrigerator and oven temperatures, the tissue processor clock, and 
embedding center and water bath temperatures.

Re: [Histonet] GMS silver stain on frozen tissue

[Hawkins, Hal K. via Histonet]

We do this routinely at the Shriners Burns Hospital in Galveston when asked to 
look for fungi in infected burn wounds and provide a "rapid section" report.  
It works very well when the timing is carefully controlled by frequent visual 
inspection.  We use a paraffin section as a control.  We also run a tissue Gram 
stain on these samples and report the results in about two hours.

Subject: [Histonet] GMS silver stain on frozen tissue

Hi everyone,

Has anyone experimented with performing a Grocott Methenamine Silver stain on 
frozen tissues?
I have a PI that is requesting this but I cannot find any literature on frozen 
tissue.

Any help or ideas is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Pedro

[Histonet] Slide and cassette printers

[Mike Pence via Histonet]

Okay, I am reaching out to the people that I know that has an answer to 
everything. What system are you using to print slides and cassettes from in 
your lab? Is it intergraded with your LIS and if so what LIS are you using? I 
am not looking for a system that prints to labels, I what it to print directly 
to the slide or cassette.
