[Histonet] Pregnancy and the Histo lab
Hello from Utah all Histo folks. I would like some input on Pregnancy and working in a Histology lab. I worked through both pregnancies and had healthy children. That being said I know much has changed in 30 years. So how are labs dealing with it now? Less time around formalin? Xylene? No pregnant ladies in the Histo lab??? There is some research out there, but would like to know how other histology Supervisors handle it. Thanks in advance Kimberly Marshall H.T.

[Histonet] Mouse brain and spinal cord
Howdy Histo folks. Quick question. I am working on a mouse brain and spinal cord research project. After cutting at 9 microns and staining routine H&E I had several wash. Today I am sectioning again, and thinking about putting in the oven over night before staining. Will this hurt the tissue?? I am new to animal Histo so learning as I go. I am doing LFB's on these slides too, so will extra dryer time cause problems with that stain? Thanks in advance for any info!!!

[Histonet] Tol Blue
?Hello my fellow Histo Techs. Have a question I just know someone out there can answer for me. In canine tissue, we are having problems with the Tol Blue for mast cell. Am experiencing metachromasia, or the mast cells turning purple not blue. I have attempted to decrease time, or add time, but its not helping. My pathologist says he has had this issue before. So question is. Could it be the mast cell in a dog does not stain the same? Is there another stain that may work? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
