[Histonet] Deep Water Bath with Lighting

[Cooper, Brian via Histonet]

I really like the TFB 35 flotation baths from Medite. They make a shallow and a 
deeper dish version; you'll want to go with the deeper dish. I'm not in front 
of one right now, but I suspect they're about 3" give or take.

Thanks,

Ho-ho-ho all,
I'm looking for a deep water bath, (3" minimum), that has an 
interior light source. Most of them seem to be only 2" tall, or have a slanted 
front control panel that none of us in the lab want. Does anyone know of a 
brand of flotation water baths that are 3" deep and have interior lighting?
Cheers!

[Histonet] Large Format Cover Glass

[Rebecca E. Ashley via Histonet]

Does anyone know of a good source for cover glass for the large format slides?  
48x60mm specifically.  We do a lot of eyes from large animals and I'm having a 
hard time finding coverslips big enough for a horse eye!
Thanks,
Rebecca

Re: [Histonet] plural fluid prep

[John Garratt via Histonet]

The cells have been living quite nicely in a natural culture medium at 37c so 
putting the pleural fluid at 4c will preserve the cells for a number of days. I 
do not think I would want to go past 3 to 4 days, but that is just the limit of 
my experience revisiting old ascitic fluid specimens.
You could use alcohol to preserve the specimen longer but not knowing what your 
experiment is I am loath to offer an opinion on that.

[Histonet] plural fluid prep

[Michelle Jamison via Histonet]

Hi All,
I work in a research lab where we are using plural fluid to proof a 
method. Recently we have received some, and are unsure how long it will 
be ok in the fridge, or if we should add some preservation fluid to it. 
Can anyone advise please.

Thank you in advance, and Happy Holidays to all!!

I’ve done it a handful of times when my only Histotech called in sick.
No effect on quality.
