[Histonet] Quality Manager

[Curt via Histonet]

I am looking for a part time person  to come in and evaluate our entire system 
from top to bottom, to get all our policies and procedures compliant if there 
is a deficiency. This position will require more time up front then, once 
systems are in place and everyone is satisfied it will likely require less 
time, perhaps once every other week or even once a month.

The focus is on quality, compliance, training and record keeping.

Please contact me directly.


Thanks,



Curt Tague | President/CEO

Know what else you can't have enough of?  Data ports.  We just went live with 
barcoding and tracking and we had to add TONS of them in nearly every room!

Good luck!

Hi Tasha,

How fun!  All I can say is ventilation, ventilation, ventilation.  If you
can't get proper ventilation I recommend Sentry Air Systems.  They have
portable fume extractors that use a series of carbon filters, to suck up
the xylene or formaldehyde vapors.

Re: [Histonet] sticking dispensers

[Terri Braud via Histonet]

We still have sticky issues, especially with the 250 HP dispenser, but there 
have been others.  I have given up on Ventana.  They don't fix it, don't care, 
and make you jump through hoops to get help.  I'm STILL waiting on my refund 3 
months ago from the HP recall where we had to repeat 78 HP tests. 
Why do we have to contact them and provide a short story's worth of info, only 
for them to NOT FIX the problem, and hang on to your money.  They should be 
beating down our doors to make their faulty dispensers right.

Hi Will,
I've been seeing sticking dispensers in several IView Blue ISH kits, an 
Ultraview Kit, and also a Calretinin. All within the last few weeks. I'm very 
interested to hear if others are having issues as well.

Re: [Histonet] Histonet Digest, Vol 182, Issue 10

[Helen via Histonet]

Hi Gareth 

Regarding the small GI biopsy question using eosin to highlight them for 
embedding etc
Why don’t you try applying Safranin on the biopsies during grossing/dictation. 
It does not wash out during processing but all GI biopsies will absorb the 
stain and it makes embedding so much easier. Especially with very fine/tiny 
biopsies.

[Histonet] HistoMATE mold cleaner

[P Sicurello via Histonet]

Happy Friday!

We pulled our HistoMATE mold cleaner out of the closet and we can't find
the user manual.  If anyone has one can you send me a copy?  I tried
looking online and couldn't find anything.  It looks pretty simple but I
still want to know what it is capable of doing.

Thanks oodles and have a nice weekend.

[Histonet] New Lab

[Campbell, Tasha M. via Histonet]

Hello, I am a small GI lab and our facility is moving to a brand new building!  
The building has yet to be built so I have full control on how to design my 
lab.  I will have about 1000-1500 sq ft.  I was just wondering if anyone had 
any tips for me?  One thing I want to change is the type of flooring.  Right 
now we have the normal 12 x 12 in tiles that are built in most buildings.  Is 
there any other type of flooring that is better especially when dealing with 
the paraffin? And the fact that I am scraping the floors?   I use to work at 
the local hospital here and they remodeled the lab there and they put vinyl 
flooring in that is supposed to be made for labs.  Come to find out during the 
first xylene spill that xylene melts vinyl!  So I know I don't want to go that 
route.


Thanks!!
