[Histonet] Feedback on Immunohistochemistry stainers
Hi all, We are looking into getting a new staining platform for our IHC lab.

We run approximately 4-6000 slides/ month and are looking into Roche, Leica and Dako.

[Histonet] fatty tissue Protocol
I'd like to know how many labs use an extended protocol to process fatty breast tissue. Does an extended protocol really work. I still believe if the tissue is submitted in small, thin and adequately fixed sections prior to processing there should be no need for a 16 hour processing cycle. Any thoughts.

[Histonet] Salary exempt/nonexempt status
Can someone please help me, I've been losing sleep over this ever since moving to CA and working here. If you are paid a salary but NOT a supervisor or manager are you considered exempt or nonexempt? I was told by someone that if you are salary but not in a managerial position you are considered nonexempt and are entitled to earn OT. I have tried searching the laws in CA and the only thing I could find is: 1. If you earn twice the wage of minimum wage you are exempt. 2. If you are a type of professional (doctors and lawyers etc) or in a managerial position you are exempt With that being said, I believe a lot of people in the U.S with other professions make twice the wage of #1, so does that mean they are all exempt? Please help me answer this question! Thank you in advance! Sent from my iPhone ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
[Histonet] Processors
Please help me decide on a processor, I am currently inquiring about refurbished processors for a small derm path lab with very low volumes. I have quotes for VIP5 for $24-27k, VIP2000 for $8k, VIP E150 for $14k and a Leica TP1020 type 4 for $17. Which one would you recommend? What's durable and won't break down often? Should I go for the vip2000 compared to vip5 to save money? ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet

Re: [Histonet] Oncotype
We do this testing for oncology. They pay for the shipping via fedex. The oncologist fills out the requsition and the lab pulls the block , packages it and ships it.
