[Histonet] (no subject)

[Rhonda McCormick via Histonet]

Help!

I became HT certified in 2004 under the HS degree and lab experience 
qualification.  I do have a Bachelor’s Degree in Education,, with only 12 hours 
of science.  I am looking to relocate to Texas and therefore am job hunting.  
The problem I’m running into is that without an Associates Degree or Bachelors 
in a Science related field, I am not being considered for job opportunities 
even though I have 17 years of experience (and am a good histo tech and good 
employee with great references). 
Is anyone else running into this problem? Does the Histonet world recommend I 
go back to school - or just be patient, trusting a job will eventually come 
along?
Thanks!

[Histonet] Buy or reagent rental deal for ThinPrep/Surepath

[Charles Rowlands via Histonet]

Hi folks

 

I wondered if anyone could give some ideas on the pros and cons for outright
purchase or reagent rental deals for Surepath and Thinprep? How much
difference could there be? If your volumes are 6000 might be better to have
used deal and buy consumables on market than be tied in? Any benefit if you
are a big player with 30,000 runs to buy outright?

Any comments insights really welcome?

Thanks folks

Charles

[Histonet] different dehydration methods after staining with PAP

[Michelle Jamison via Histonet]

Hi All with experience with PAP staining,
In the last steps of PAP staining there are dehydration steps (with 
alcohol) then coversliping. Do you ever dehydrate with air, or always 
with alcohol? Also, do you ever have a problem with moisture being 
caught under the coverslip causing a cloudy effect? If so, what do you 
do for that? Last oneif you do dehydrate with alcohol, would you 
ever consider air dehydration instead?

Thanks for your input,
Cheers!
Michelle

Good Morning Histo Peeps!

Our facility is looking to purchase 2 new cryostats.  Can any of my 
pathology/histology colleagues recommend which you prefer.  Pros and cons of 
the Sakura and Leica cryostats would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your input!

Warm regards,
