[Histonet] Bot Fly larva processing

[james a fortune via Histonet]

Hey Histonet,

 

Does anyone have a good processing program for bot fly larva?  Also looking
for grossing recommendations.  My guess is submit cross sections. Any hints
would be greatly appreciated.

[Histonet] Artisan AFB contamination

[Nancy Schmitt via Histonet]

Hello-

Has anyone had any issues with AFB contamination on the Artisan special 
stainer?  We are doing a monthly process with alcohol and drying of the 
containers and flushing the lines with alcohol per Technical support at Agilent 
- still seeing it pop up occasionally.

Appreciate any thoughts-

[Histonet] Bar code scanner to compare specimen jars to cassettes

[Lester Raff MD via Histonet]

Greetings to all:

Are any of your labs using a portable device (not part of an LIS) to compare 
bar codes on cassettes to 1) specimen jars, or 2) slides.

If so, what product do you use, how does it affect workflow, and how satisfied 
are you with it?

Thanks,
