Hello,
 I have a question please. For the AFB Stain, do we put both the 
control tissue and the patient on the same slide?

Thanks,
Ade

[Histonet] Oil Red O

2018-10-03 Thread Amos Brooks via Histonet
Hi,
 I have seen this too. I mitigate the problem by making it up in 50 ml
increments and staining them flat. I draw from around the middle of the
Falcon tube I make it up in. It tends to precipitate so you could filter
it. Don't bother re-using the reagent. It's cheap & easy to make up. I
usually only see the precipitate with old solutions. Just make what you use
within a few weeks.

Best 'o luck,
Amos

Hi Reuel,

In my experience this is the ORO crystallizing out on the section. I would
first filter your staining solution, then keep your staining times to as
short as you can. Also changing between 37 and room temperatures may be
useful too.

[Histonet] Oil Red O

2018-10-03 Thread Reuel Cornelia via Histonet
I was wondering if you could help me know why our Oil Red O have some black 
snowflakes on our fat tissue hours after staining or after 24 hours more 
snowlflakes precipitation occurs.  The staining was reference was from Lillie 
RD, Ashburn. Please note that our staining works well between two to three 
hours. Is there a reason fro this precipitation?

[Histonet] slide folders with space for blocks too

2018-10-03 Thread Caitlin Hesketh via Histonet
I want to order some folders that have space for blocks to go with the
slides. I swear this exists - I remember very clearly bringing it up as a
suggestion at my last job and the pathologist there shutting it down
instantly (he didn't want to be responsible for checking the block against
the slide himself).

The only ones I can find googling now are these:
http://sourcemp.com/consulting-folder-for-slides-and-blocks.aspx

But I am certain I saw them before with room for 20, and they were plastic
if I remember right.

Anyone else remember these things, or have I lost my mind?
