Re: [Histonet] Leica ASP6025 Tissue Processor and Cryostats

[Cooper, Brian via Histonet]

So we actually have a Leica CM1950 in our Histo Lab, as well as a Fisher NX70 
Cryostar in our Frozen Section Room in the OR.  They are both excellent 
cryostats (I actually learned how to cryosection on the Leica).  When we were 
in the market for a new Cryostat a year ago, we went with the NX70 because of 
the ergonomic flexibility and cold disinfection--both really cool (ok, pun 
truly wasn't intended there) features!  Check em both out, and see all the cool 
bells and whistles.

Good luck!

[Histonet] Acetylcholinesterase

[Lager, Loree via Histonet]

Hi Histo techs,

I hope you're all being appropriately honored on our day!

I wondering if anyone is still doing the Acetylcholinesterase for 
Hirschsprung's in children and has a procedure they're willing to share?  We 
have a pathologist requesting it for a research project, and while we used to 
do it routinely, before IHC, we are having trouble getting our archived 
procedure to work.  I'm not sure if this  is due in part to the absence of a 
couple of the chemicals (well at least not the same product #) or something 
else?

Thanks in advance for your help!

[Histonet] Improving fixation of insect parts for TEM

[Jorge A. Santiago-Blay via Histonet]

Hello Histonet-Listers:

This is a follow up on earlier messages re. fixation of insect parts for
TEM.

First, thanks for the feedback to try minimizing the effect of setae in
creating an air bubble.

Second, we are having difficulties making the resin for blocks used in TEM
adhere well to the insect exoskeleton.It seems that there is something on
the exoskeleton preventing this. Any constructive suggestions (e.g. washing
the insect with a strong solvent?) to improve adherence will be
appreciated. My email is blayjo...@gmail.com

Gratefully,

Jorge

[Histonet] Slide printer input

[Jill Cox via Histonet]

Hi all! 
We are switching pathology modules and looking into slide printers, we were 
told we can use a zebra or primera, also any printer that will print a 1" x 1" 
label. Any recommendations out there? I have used Dymo in the past. New system 
is Modmed. Thank you all, and happy Histotechnology Professionals day!!

[Histonet] Leica Bond and IF staining

[Morken, Timothy via Histonet]

We've been adapting the Leica Bond to do immunofluorescence staining and 
finding it a hard road. Leica does not support IF staining within the standard 
clinical software so we need to buy a FISH kit (just one vial of formamide) in 
order to get a "kit" barcode to run the system. We dump the formamide and put 
in our own buffer. Totally useless to us, but they say it is the only way to 
run the system for IF. For that they charge us a price that significantly 
increases our reagent costs.

So, has anyone figured out if it is possible to spoof the system to avoid this 
unnecessary expense and hassle? Contact me privately you wish.
