Re: [Histonet] Bone Marrow Assists

[Terri Braud via Histonet]

Our Histology Techs also assist with Bone Marrows in CT, though there is little 
to do.  We collect the aspirate in Heparin Tubes and the core in Bouins.  We 
bring it back to the lab and make our smears from one of the heparin tubes.  
The other tubes go for special studies.  I'd like to think our smears are 
better than many.  We pour the aspirate into a weigh boat and use a pipet to 
pick out the spicules for picture perfect smears. Much better results than the 
old method of making the smears at bedside.

Our histotechs assist bone marrows but it used to be Hematology's 
responsibility.  The bone marrows at my institution aren't very time consuming 
and are done in CT.

Re: [Histonet] Metals

[Tony Henwood (SCHN) via Histonet]

Two good screening stains are Mallory and Parker’s Fresh Hematoxylin Stain for 
Metals and  Timm’s Silver Sulphide Method for Metals. Malloy's results:
Aluminium   Blue-black
Copper  Greenish-blue
IronBlue-black
LeadBlue
ZincBlue

For more specific staining:
Aluminon Stain for Aluminium Hydroxide
Walton’s Stain for Aluminium  (Phloxine binds the aluminium)
Bedrick et al (1986) method for Zinc 
Rubeanic Acid Technique for Copper
Rhodanine Technique for Copper 

These methods are quite sensitive but  there are some specificity issues. I can 
provide further details and references if required. Here are some:
