[Histonet] I would like help with embedding Kidney needle biopsies

[Dessasau III, Evan via Histonet]

Hi all, I am wondering if those of you that work with Kidney Needle biopsies  
would not mind helping me improve my handling of this tissue type.  This work 
is being done at the pre-clinical level but I still would like to improve my 
cutting.  We uses to process every tissue size in one overnight run.  I have 
moved small tissues to a separate run which I think gives us an improved 
cutting quality.  I think I could even move to a shorter run for the KNB.  I 
still fight with micro-chatter on a 6.5hr. run.   I have been reading through 
the Histonet archives tonight and my eyes are crossed but I did not see 
anything specific on embedding needle biopsies.  I did see some other juicy 
items I will give a try down the road.  I believe fine tuning the processing 
will not be as hard as learning to get these very small samples in the same 
plane so that I can get everything in my first section.  I hope you will not 
mind sharing any helpful knowledge.
Thank you!
E-van

[Histonet] Crystals in PAS from Ventana

[Mark, Danielle via Histonet]

I am wondering if anyone else has been having issues with the PAS stain.  The 
crystals are not rinsing off of the slide using the benchmark special stainer.  
We are on our 3rd lot number, no change.  We have had our tubing changed and 
our instrument checked to make sure the rinse is appropriate.  This problem is 
causing our lab great frustration.  Any feedback would be appreciated.
