Re: [Histonet] bleach under the sink
Cleaning supplies may be stored under the sink, but since "things" have a way of migrating there as well, we just have a blanket rule, nothing under the sink. Of course, this would never occur in the Histology Department, LOL. The space is actually locked off. Terri L.

Re: [Histonet] guinea pig IHC
In my experience it is not that GP have a higher peroxidase level, it is frozen sections in general that cannot be blocked with h202, unless they are fixed for a long time in formalin. What are others experiences with h202 blocking on frozen sections. I always used an IHC detection system that did not require h202 blocking for frozen sections.

I am experiencing an enormous amount of bubbling when doing the peroxidase blocking step, even though I'm only using a 0.3% concentration of H2O2. And when I say 'enormous', I mean it's like continuous champagne bubbles rising out of the tissue, even after 20 minutes in the H2O2 solution. I can't find anything in the literature that mentions guinea pigs having a higher peroxidase content in their tissues. Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

Re: [Histonet] Bleach Regs
We don't store anything under the sinks in our lab per CAP regulations. I do not understand why, nor do I have the specific checklist question at my fingertips, but we always make sure everything is removed from under the sinks at inspection time.

Cleaning supplies may be stored under the sink. Bleach is a cleaning agent. We do it and no inspector looking there has ever said anything about it.
