Re: [Histonet] Static electricity Tip

[Jay Lundgren via Histonet]

They sell industrial anti-static sprays, you spray the equipment, the
bottom of your shoes, and the floor.  They work.

Also, you can ground your microtome to a pipe with a ground strap.

Re: [Histonet] Sakura Prisma 4740 combo film

[Elizabeth Chlipala via Histonet]

In our situation the charcoal filters were not sufficient enough, we used 
xylene and it was not the tape but glass coverslipper.  We tried it with just 
the carbon filters and it was not good enough.

Ours has 2 charcoal filters located behind the carousel rack on top of the 
coverslipper.  I believe the filters have to be changed once per year.  This 
would eliminate having to have external exhaust.  We don't have any issues with 
fumes from our unit, but we also are using xylene substitute (SubX) inside the 
stainer, except for the last station before the slides go into the 
coverslipper.  We use xylene in the last station of the stain line and xylene 
inside the coverslipper.  Of course the only reason we are using xylene in 
these 2 stations is to activate the hydrocarbons in the tape coverslip film, as 
xylene substitute will not work for this.

Hi everyone,

I am considering placing a Sakura Prisma 4740 combo film in one of my labs. My 
question is , does the cover slip unit need an external exhaust. Please 
consider that the space the unit will be placed is small. Thank you in advance.

Re: [Histonet] SEND OUTS

[Lester Raff MD via Histonet]

Your transcriptionist (or someone with a little Excel experience) should 
definitely set this up as a spread sheet. You would be able to search, sort, 
etc. Just be sure to back up on a daily basis!

Hi All
Happy Friday
Was wondering if anyone had a clear cut way on the send out books, my current 
transcriptionist is keeping them by ex  Mayo send outs, Mutation analysis, Bone 
Marrows etc..  I thought the book should be alphabetical so all would be easier 
to find ??  Also have a place in our LIS Meditech but it is a little 
confusing??   Any ideas??
