Re: [Histonet] Stain Validations

Just use a microarray.  They can be purchased in all sorts of varieties with 
hundreds of cases on one slide.  I use and recommend U S Biomax

Good Morning-
What is everyone doing for validation on special stains?  We have a new Artisan 
but I am struggling with finding exact validation specifications.  It will be 
difficult to find 10-20 cases on some of these stains.
Thoughts and Thank you!

Re: [Histonet] blades

2017-05-22 Thread Bob Richmond via Histonet
Lauren Sweeney at the University of Georgia asks:

>>Blades for grossing tissues- anyone have recommendations? The vendor that
we were purchasing just straight razor blades from has stopped
manufacturing them. We don't use scalpels because of their higher cost and
we are only working with poultry samples.<<

I just Googled "single edge razor blades" and they're still available from
a number of sources.

I've done hospital pathology grossing with them, though not in the last 40
years, and found them extremely satisfactory - in fact, I prefer them to
scalpel blades.

I've been shaving my face since 1951, and have never heard of anybody
actually using them to shave with.

We use "carpet blades" from Lowes or Home Depot. They are cheap and fit the
handles we already have

[Histonet] HHV-8

2017-05-22 Thread Martin, Erin via Histonet
Good morning histonetters!


I'm looking for a new source for HHV-8 (KSV), clone 13B10, antibody.  
CellMarque's is no longer IVD, nor is Ventana.  Does anyone have a suggestion?


Thank you!

[Histonet] blades

2017-05-22 Thread Lauren Sweeney via Histonet
Hi Histoland-

Blades for grossing tissues- anyone have recommendations? The vendor that we 
were purchasing just straight razor blades from has stopped manufacturing them. 
We don't use scalpels because of their higher cost and we are only working with 
poultry samples.

Thanks and have a great day!
