Hello all,
I hope the holidays are treating everyone well. (Especially in light of us
having the most hazardous job in the country...)
Here's some fun for the season:
The Twelve Days of Histo
TWELVE Medical Directors
ELEVEN logs-a-printing
TEN residents reading
NINE frozen sections
EIGHT administrators
SEVEN stainers beeping
SIX techs complaining
FIVE I...H...Cs  :)
FOUR calling docs
THREE recuts
TWO special stains
And a block with an H and E...
Please feel free to sing along.
Merry Christmas in Histoland!

[Histonet] Vacuum Breaker Error on Prisma H Stainer

[Sandra Cheasty via Histonet]

Hello all,
We have been getting an occasional, (maybe once every 20 runs), 
error 90 on our Prisma stainer. (Vacuum Breaker Error) Has anyone encountered 
this? Does it have to do with the incoming water lines? I'm trying to avoid a 
costly visit by a Sakura vetted repair tech.
Thanks!
Sandy

[Histonet] TMA cutting advice

[Blanca Lopez via Histonet]

Morning Histonettes,
I am looking for more options to get nice sections on my TMA during cutting...I 
make this breast TMA, we used old blocks from other places everything was fine 
during the construction until I have to cut it. IT's brittle some cores and 
others curl as soon they touch the knife. I soaked it in ammonium/H2O, I cooler 
longer, I even used lotion to make it soft and more tricks that I know but any 
worked. I am getting frustrating with this block ( I did not have this problem 
with my others TMA's).
Is anybody knows more tricks that help me to get nice sections? I am willing to 
try everything.
Thanks for your help.
