Re: [Histonet] Flammable Sprays in Cryostats

It's not safe to use any type of spray in a cryostat.  It creates aerosols
of who knows what (tuberculosis) from potentially infectious patient
biopsies.  I would not recommend it, just as a universal precaution.

I have to agree with Terri. I also believe that CAP is going to be putting
in regulations forbidding the use of freeze sprays in cryostats soon (at
least I think I heard a rumor about this).

Anyway another useful item is liquid nitrogen if you really need a quick
freeze. Dip a brush into the liquid and lightly apply to the specimen. Not
always recommended as could cause artifacts.

My question is why would you ever want to use an aerosol in the cryostat, 
taking a chance on aerosolizing some nasty bug?
Is the 30 seconds you save in using freezing spray worth the exposure to TB or 
goodness-knows-what?  
We use a simple metal heat extractor (comes standard in our Leicas) and place 
it on top of the freezing block to accelerate the process.  We never have 
issues with turn around times.
For me, no freezing spray.  Ever.

[Histonet] job search in Chicago area

2019-09-25 Thread Margaryan, Naira via Histonet
Hello histonetters,

Please share this email with your colleagues.
I am in a job searching process in Chicago area to be close to my family as my 
appointment in West Virginia University Research Corporation, Morgantown, WV is 
coming to an end since my long-standing supervisor is closing her research 
laboratory.

I have had the privilege of establishing a Research Histology Core in Stanley 
Manne Children's Research Institute, Chicago, IL as well as a Research 
Histology Service in West Virginia University Research Corporation, Morgantown, 
WV, where I have provided histology services to scientists in various 
disciplines to support their research projects. I have also trained students 
enrolled in health science programs in the areas of routine histology and 
animal work.

My experience in cancer research with background in histology and in veterinary 
medicine has given me a unique opportunity to translate my knowledge from basic 
science to clinically relevant applications for diagnostic, prognostic and 
therapeutic development as they relate to cancer. My contributions to various 
research projects have included in vitro and in vivo work of predictive cancer 
biomarkers. I have been involved in testing novel humanized targeted 
antibody-based therapy in the treatment of human cancer in xenograft mouse 
models.

I am confident that my skills and experience would allow me to be a great fit 
for the research laboratory where I could provide excellent support for a wide 
range of scientific projects. I am a fast learner, a hard worker and a strong 
team player.
Furthermore, I am able to transfer a DAKO autostainer and an H&E station as 
part of my relocation.

My Resume and Curriculum Vitae are available by request and provide the more 
comprehensive list of my qualifications and accomplishments. I am very 
interested in meeting to discuss how I can best contribute to the work in 
research laboratory.

Sincerely,
Naira Margaryan

We received the same letter months ago.  We changed to a non-flammable spray.  
It is called STATFREEZE, we purchase it from STATLAB.  The catalog number is 
SL202/134a.  Be careful if you order it because they also sell a product called 
STATFREEZE that is flammable.

Re: [Histonet] Flammable Sprays in Cryostats

2019-09-25 Thread Akemi via Histonet
We are purchasing two of their newer UV cryostats and they were adamant that we 
use a non flammable freezing spray because it can damage the UV unit and have 
potential for exploding.

[Histonet] Flammable Sprays in Cryostats

2019-09-25 Thread Knutson, Deanne via Histonet
I just received a letter from Leica Biosystems where they are prohibiting the 
usage of flammable
freezing sprays in their cryostats.  What are others using in their cryostats 
to instantly freeze specimens?

Thank you.
