Re: [Histonet] Stainer comparisons
Are used to work for Roche. The HE600 is an option that I would not choose. The instrument has too many moving parts and the rate of service is much higher than any of the dip and dunk strainers on the market. The reagents are proprietary, so you are forced to use Roche staining reagents. The Dako H strainer is bad too.

Re: [Histonet] Histonet Digest, Vol 215, Issue 3
If you are looking to prioritize certain tissues slides to the pathologist, I think separate small biopsy runs are a great idea. You can process them with a much shorter run cycle.(90-120 min). You can actually do several runs per day. This is a good way of decreasing your TAT for all blocks and putting the signout TAT back in the pathologist's hands. If you are interested, I can suggest a run schedule. *John Frazier* *MT(ASCP), MBA, * *Lean 6 Six Sigma Black Belt* *Healthcare Consultant* *C - 302-310-7567* *H - 704-847-0566* *wilfong1...@gmail.com * On Tue, Oct 5, 2021 at 1:00 PM wrote: > Send Histonet mailing list submissions to > histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > histonet-requ...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu > > You can reach the person managing the list at > histonet-ow...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Histonet digest..." > Today's Topics: > >1.

Re: [Histonet] Histonet Digest, Vol 208, Issue 1
Have you considered any Digital Imaging platforms such as Roche's DP200 or Lieca's Aperio? Both of these systems provide superior imaging and you may even be able to build your own algorithms for immunofluourescent multiplexing. I am not a vendor but have seen both of these systems and evaluated them. The Roche DP 200 can scan the and give you X,Y,and Z imaging. You can literally focus up and down on the image to see layers. Just a thought. *John Frazier* *MT(ASCP), MBA* *Lean 6 Six Sigma Black Belt* *Healthcare Consultant* *C - 302-310-7567* *H - 704-847-0566* *wilfong1...@gmail.com * On Mon, Mar 1, 2021 at 1:00 PM wrote: > Send Histonet mailing list submissions to > histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > histonet-requ...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu > > You can reach the person managing the list at > histonet-ow...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Histonet digest..." > Today's Topics: > >1.

[Histonet] Floaters
Here is a reference link to floaters. My experience with tissue floaters is that most come from staining baths. However, some manufacturers of stainers claim there is significance with these floaters. My experience is that Pathologists read through the floaters and for the most part they don't mind. My concern for floaters that pose a real threat to an accurate diagnosis come from the block. Created either at grossing with contaminated grossing tools or embedding. https://meridian.allenpress.com/aplm/article/133/6/973/64098/Tissue-Floaters-and-Contaminants-in-the-Histology *John Frazier* *MT(ASCP), MBA* *Lean 6 Six Sigma Black Belt* *Healthcare Consultant* *704-847-0566* *wilfong1...@gmail.com * ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
