If only they would put that much effort into repairing the problem and

Re: [Histonet] Ventana dispensers - last word

[Victoria Baker via Histonet]

Terri,

We went through hell with the Roche dispensers in late 2017 to early 2018.
The only thing positive I have to say is that the field engineer and our
FAS are great.  I have little respect for the sales staff or inside
support.

We pay top dollar for these instruments and the required reagents and all
Roche shows they are truly concerned with is the next sale

We also had a sit-down with their scientific people as well,  and here we
are again.  We haven't had the magnitude of failures this time but it is
disheartening to see that what they said they were going to fix has not
been fixed.

I was also wondering why they would send product failure notifications to
clinicians and not to the laboratories that are using the reagents.  I got
a notification from one of our oncology groups - but I never received one
in our lab.

Ventana doesn't exist and I miss that very much.  With each buy out,
merger or supposed partnership that I see with suppliers and manufacturers
things are turned more to the bottom line and in the end the patient
suffers and it's wrong.

But that's big business.

Vikki

I want to state that I really do like the Benchmark Ultra, but the
instrument is only as good as the individual parts.  Based on many private
responses that I received, I think that dispenser failure is probably being
vastly underreported. I can only hope that a moment's indiscretion on their
part will lead to a more open dialogue in their company concerning a true
solution to this problem.

[Histonet] Frozen section room

[Heckford, Karen - SMMC-SF via Histonet]

Good Morning,
I have a question about how much reagents you can keep in a frozen section 
room.  Our frozen section is a little room off of Surgery.  When it was 
designed now one thought to ask us what it was going to need so there is little 
ventilation down there besides the typical room output and input.  No hood!!  
We have a small H stain line, DQ and Toluidine Blue.   Can I keep a small 
amount of each reagent down there for topping off and changing out reagents?  I 
was thinking Pint bottles.

I am pretty sure there is regulations on this!

• Start studying for that QIHC?
If you are or might be considering a job change now or in the near future:
• Does your resume need to be updated?
• Have you considered what you are looking for and where?
• Have you gotten the state license if it is required before you go?
• Have we spoken recently?

Please feel free to contact me by phone toll free at 866-607-3542 or email:
