Re: [Histonet] linear stainer protocol

2020-04-24 Thread Terri Braud via Histonet
We have the Leica linear stainer (Also sold by Avantik?) and have it set at 7 
second intervals. The stain takes about 100 seconds. 
Slides are fixed in the Coplin jar with 95% Alcohol then loaded:
The stations are in order:
1. Water wash
2. Hemotoxylin (Richard Allen 7211)
3. Hemotoxylin (Richard Allen 7211)
4. Hemotoxylin (Richard Allen 7211)
5. Water wash
6. Bluing (we use Surgipath SelecTech Blue Buffer 8 concentrate, diluted 
according to directions
7. Water wash
8. Eosin (1% Alcoholic)
9. 95% Alcohol
10. Absolute Alcohol
11. Absolute Alcohol
12. Absolute Alcohol
13. Xylene
14. Xylene

The slides are clean and consistent with great differentiation.  The Richard 
Allen 7211 Hematoxylin does not require filtering and seems to last forever.
I sincerely hope this helps.

Hello Histonet,

My name is John Raible, and I work at the VA medical center in Minneapolis. I 
am trying to find routine H&E frozen section staining protocols for an 
automated linear stainer. My lab recently got one, and I was asked to research 
staining protocols Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all. Stay safe and healthy!

John

What platform does everyone use to carry out FFPE PCR testing?

Seeking to bring in as many genetic mutation testing options as possible
(BRAF, KRAS, NRAS...etc.)

[Histonet] Embedding Station Recommendations

2020-04-24 Thread Pairan, Kelly via Histonet
Good Afternoon and Happy Lab Week,
We are currently looking into replacing a Leica 1150H embedding station.  We 
love the size of that instrument's hot plate and unfortunately the newer 
version (Arcadia) has a much narrower one.  We have also reached out to Sakura 
but their latest embedding center also has a pretty narrow hotplate.  Does 
anyone have a recommendation of another company other than Sakura and Leica?

Thanks,
Kelly
