Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Histonet] Adhesive cover for microscope state.

Hello All:

Years ago I had a white adhesive plastic cover on my microscope stage that kept 
the stage smooth. I am looking for a similar product but having no luck with an 
internet search. Does anyone have any leads on this?

Thanks,

Re: [Histonet] A Question About Paraffin Times

[Kari Simeone via Histonet]

I agree with Tony. I have on many occasions left the block baskets sit at room 
temperature (sat them in an OFF oven) and then turned the oven on to temp and 
re-embedded the tissue with no issues. You could also just return the basket to 
the warming tray until they are warm again to embed.

It is best to remove the blocks and let them set at room temperature.

Leaving them at 60 or more degrees can adversely affect antigens.

We routinely do this with our autopsies and have not noted any issues.

[Histonet] Decal Solution

[Diana Martinez-Longoria via Histonet]

Good morning everyone,



I was wondering if someone can give me advise regarding the best decal solution 
for bone marrow cores? Our pathologist wants to use a decal solution that has 
EDTA based for molecular studies (ex: suspected tumor/lymphoma etc. diagnosis). 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Re: [Histonet] A Question About Paraffin Times

[Garrey Faller via Histonet]

I have had to deal with this in the past and could not find an answer .
My intuition was that it can't be good to leave in hot wax. So, on the rare 
occasion when my only Histotech called in sick I had to take the blocks out and 
cool them down. When ready they were put back in the tissue embedder to heat up 
and everything was fine. That's my experience,
Garrey
