Re: [Histonet] Specimens for Gout
They should be fixed in absolute alcohol and can go on the processor at the absolute alcohol step, or they can go into the xylene if completely fixed and dehydrated. -Original Message- From: Piche, Jessica via Histonet Sent: Monday, March 20, 2023 8:24 AM To: Histonet Subject: [Histonet] Specimens for Gout EXTERNAL SENDER - Exercise caution with requests, links, and attachments. Good Morning Everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend. What are people doing to process gout specimens? Are you fixing them in Absolute alcohol (and for how long), and then loading on tissue processor starting in xylene? I'm hearing different things and am curious about what other people are doing.

Re: [Histonet] Coverslip Instruments
We use the Tissue Tek Glas with our Ventana labeled slides with no problem. The key is to insure the label does not hang off the edge in the slightest. However, it does not put them in a tray, however, that function only takes about 10 seconds. Terri L.

Subject: [Histonet] coverslip machines Hi everyone, Does anyone know of a cover slipping machine other than the Roche HE 600, in which the slides are loaded in 20 folder type trays. The slides are not picked up by the machine, rather the coverslip is applied to the slides in the folder. Elaine Dooley Shands Labs at Rocky Point 352-265-0111 ext 72117 Or does anyone have good luck putting slides from a Ventana ultra with clear plastic overlays on an automated coverslipper? Our old coverslippers always had problems with the labels sticking to the robotic arm that lifts the slide. ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
