[Histonet] FW: Leica Bond Max artifact

[Linda Margraf via Histonet]

Here is a message I am posting for Dr. Rosen:
Hello,

I am a longtime admirer of this list, and I am sure someone on here can help us 
out

We have an artifact on our immunohistochemistry (IHC) slides.

I will attempt to attach pictures using the upload tool. In case that doesn’t 
work, I am attaching a google drive link to some jpgs. The artifact is usually 
golden brown to red/pink in color, is clustered, appears both on top of the 
tissue and around it. If we do an aggressive rundown, it appears less red/brown 
and bluer.

We are using a Leica Bond MAX IHC system which is about a year old. We usually 
do two runs a day and 95% of the time we only use a red detection kit. We only 
see this on our red detection kit on our Leica bond. The brown is unaffected. 
The corresponding H slides are fine.
We started having this artifact after a month or two of production. 85% of the 
time we have some sort of artifact. Sometimes its perfect, sometimes it makes 
the tissue unreadable. We haven’t figured out any precipitating factors.

We have tried a number of things, but we still can’t get control of this.
Here is a brief overview of our protocols:
- Processor: Leica ASP300s tissue processor.
-Parrafin = Mercedes HWWX (dual purpose embedding and infiltration parrafin) 
melting point 57c – we tried switching, and it didn’t help.
- We only use distilled water in our baths
- Mercedes Starfrost charged slides
- Oven for 30 min at 62c
- We always use a cold red detection kit
-Sometimes our runs are delayed but not more than 4 hours
- Rundown is done in our stainer (standardized), and slides are coverslipped 
with tape.
- The bulk fluid containers in the bond are cleaned weekly and refrigerated 
between runs.
- The probe is cleaned every 300 slides.
- Mixing wells are cleaned out every two weeks and replaced often.
-Covertiles are well tended to.

We have tried to correct this problem, but we can't seem to fix it.
Any ideas?

[Histonet] Tanner cryostat

[Linda Margraf via Histonet]

Here is a message I am posting for Bethany.

Does anyone know anything about these cryostats imported from Germany? It's the 
Tanner TN50 cryostat. I'd like to hear from someone who has worked on one. We 
are looking to purchase a new cryostat. I love the QS12 but the Tanner is 
priced more reasonable. I can't find any reviews on this cryostat.

Thanks!

[Histonet] Regarding too many emails

[Linda Margraf via Histonet]

Greetings Histonetters:

As the Histonet administrator, I typically don't send out too many messages to 
the list, but it is probably time for me to remind folks about some of the 
Histonet list's functionality. First, thanks to everyone for participating. We 
have over 3100 members from all over the globe which is quite astonishing for a 
list that started 20 years ago.  Thanks also to everyone who sends out 
subscribing/unsubscribing instructions etc. and for Marvin Hanna for running 
the archive all these years.  I never would have dreamed the list would still 
be running strong this long.   

It is best if you manage your own account on the membership list at the url 
below (sorry the url is so long now!).
To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__lists.utsouthwestern.edu_mailman_listinfo_histonet=DwICAg=fHUKEfYp8ZKZp-Z4zyr9bXWWb-JCctOum5ZlzbjkVjM=1o7iZWfSCXEgDesmDMuV2rPUZJJnqv0nrvyFk2x0v0A=AcwNeKf6Os__vxNkSxyldTqmODmwViFPmsquElvZ7ew=bngU9RZfSDBzzUiM4ycqhQEEauD-rCoFokTODEYqYME=

Remember, if your email address changes even a little, the server won't 
recognize you as a list member when you try to post a message (but you likely 
still get Histonet messages internally routed through your email server).  If 
your email address differs from the one on the membership list, you will 
receive a non-member alert that your message won't be posted. Also, if you have 
graphics in your message such as a signature line with a logo, the server may 
reject a message you try to post to the list.   Please send the message as 
plain text (without the footer etc) if you don't see your message come through 
the list. 

Finally, for those who don't like the many emails, Histonet has a digest 
version where all the messages are grouped into one message every day.  It is a 
little confusing reading the messages as they are not grouped by topic but it 
really cuts done on the number of messages you get. If you want to switch to 
digest, go to the Histonet url above and modify your subscription. Also, you 
can hold mail while you are away, change your password  etc at that url 
address. 

Always feel free to contact me if you have issues by email at 
histonet-ow...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu
Sometimes it takes a day or two for me to get back to you but I try my best.

Thanks for participating in Histonet.
Sincerely,
Linda M

Hello Histoneters,

I am reaching out to the pathology world in the hopes that someone can help us 
out. Our lab is currently validating two new staining protocols:


1.   HER2 FISH for gastric tissue (stomach & distal esophagus)

2.   ALK FISH for lung tissue

We have hit a road block without validation because we have run out of patient 
tissue. We are desperately searching for:


· 10 distal esophagus / gastric tissue POSITIVE for HER2 (preferably 
stained by FISH previously)

· 5 distal esophagus / gastric tissue NEGATIVE for HER2 (preferably 
stained by FISH previously)

· 20 specimens (surgical or cytology cell block) POSITIVE for ALK 
(previously stained by FISH only)
We would need two charged slides with 5 micron sections and proof of stain 
results (example: de-identified report).

We understand this is a lot of work but anything thing would help, even if it 
is just one or two cases. We are not asking anyone to “work for free” so we are 
100% willing to trade help for tissue blocks or purchase the slides if 
necessary. We do have TONS of FFPE tissue blocks that are HSV I & II positive. 
I know that HSV can be hard to come by and we would be willing to send some 
tissue blocks in exchange for the slides listed above.

Please either post on this blog or contact me directly at 
samantha.gr...@cmc-nh.org<mailto:samantha.gr...@cmc-nh.org> .

Thanks for reading!

My pathologists are not happy with PAX-5 on the Ventana Ultra; it will 
occasionally show cytoplasmic staining of the Reed-Sternberg cells (supposed to 
be a nuclear stain).  We use Ventana’s clone SP34. I have been trying to 
optimize with the Optiview kit but we are getting so much background staining 
and only sporadic staining of the R-S cells.  I tried a different clone, Cell 
Marque EP156 which was really clean but would not stain the R-S cells at all, 
no matter what we did.   My Ventana technical specialist is stumped as to why 
we’re having so much trouble.  Does anyone else have the same problem or have 
any suggestions?

[Histonet] Corey's apology

[Linda Margraf via Histonet]

Hi Histonetters,

Corey Hubbard at Rankin sent me a message earlier today to apologize for 
accidently sending a message he intended to go to one person, out to the entire 
list. He did not intend to "advertise" and wanted to see if I could retract the 
message. Unfortunately, I cannot retract messages that go to the Histonet 
server and it has already gone out to the list.  Anyway, the rules still apply 
about vendors. They are always welcome and encouraged to post to the list 
regarding subscribers questions and concerns but we cannot allow the forum to 
be used for advertising as it is run by the University of Texas and must remain 
an unbiased platform.

Thanks everyone for their continued participation on Histonet, by the way.  We 
still have>3300 subscribers which is highly unusual for a listserv that has 
been in operation for nearly 20 years!

[Histonet] Stain problem

[Linda Margraf via Histonet]

(Here is a message I am posting for Natachaplease reply to the list so she 
sees it. Thanks Linda M, Histonet administrator)

Hi histonetters,

Lately we have had a special stain phenomenon occurring with our recent liver 
biopsies on our NexES special stainer. The nuclear staining is obsolete. Where 
the nucleus should be there are empty spaces. The liver control sections are 
staining fine with proper digestion and nuclear staining but the patient 
sections are show no nuclear staining. We have seen this in the past and 
describe it as a "nuclear bubbling" affect with the PAS/D on this stainer. 
However, the current nuclear staining is an extreme case. Any thoughts.

Our protocol is Schiff's 4 min @ 60°C and diastase for 12 min.

[Histonet] specimen submission pads

[Linda Margraf via Histonet]

Hi Histonetters,
We are having trouble in the Gross room,  removing small specimens from the 
pads/gauze that OR personnel put them on which they then immerse in formalin.  
We thought the gauze was challenging to remove tiny specimens from but have 
found that the Telfa pads the OR is now using come apart in the fixative and 
are even more challenging to work with. The GI lab uses sponges but they would 
be too small for the usual size containers the OR send us.  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

[Histonet] Histology equipment ads

[Linda Margraf via Histonet]

Hi Histonetters;

I have had a couple of inquiries about whether  the rules have changed 
regarding advertising on the list and the answer is no. As we run this list 
using the University of Texas software and equipment, we cannot allow 
advertising.  The line gets blurry sometimes but I had to notify the individual 
that sent the message below of the rules and he promised not to send messages 
like that again. We do still allow job postings, even from recruiters, as the 
membership seems to like receiving them.  It is fine, welcomed in fact,  for 
the vendors on the list to answer queries if they can offer assistance but they 
should not use the list to advertise their wares.
If you ever have a message you are unsure about, please contact me about 
whether it is appropriate before you post it.

Thanks,
LInda M

[Histonet] email issues

[Linda Margraf via Histonet]

Dear Histonetters,
I have heard from a couple of list members that they have been removed from the 
list from excess bounces and once they have gotten back on the listserv 
membership list, they no longer receive a copy of any message they post to the 
list. They use Yahoo and AOL.

I contacted the IT experts at the university who investigated. It appears Yahoo 
and probably AOL have changed settings to improve spam filtering and it is 
blocking or bouncing mail. The IT guys changed some settings on the server. The 
bouncing issue seems to be resolved but for people using those email systems, 
they may not get a copy of any messages they post to the list any longer.  
Apparently all the other mail from the list comes through just fine. If that 
happens to you, you can check the archive 
(http://www.histosearch.com/histonet.html) to see if your message is there. 
There is also a setting for your Histonet subscription, that you can turn on, 
that will send an acknowledgement when you post to the list. I am testing this 
now as I don't think we have used it before. Yahoo and AOL (or other email 
providers) customer service may also be able to help.

To change or look at your personal listserv settings on the list visit 
http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
Remember, if you get a message about being a non-member if you try to post a 
message, it means your email address has likely changed from when you first 
subscribed and it needs updating, which you can also do at this site.

[Histonet] Histonet anniversary and welcome to Dr Sengupta

[Linda Margraf]

 Dear Histonetters,
 In a couple of weeks, Histonet will celebrate its 19th anniversary! It is 
 hard to believe it has been in existence that long. I would like to say 
 thanks to all the members who contribute to the list, sharing their time and 
 expertise with others in histology-related fields. We currently have 3800 
 subscribers from at least 30 countries ( last time I counted).  It is amazing 
 to see how the list continues to provide new insights and information after 
 all these years.
 I'd also like to say welcome to Dr Anita Sengupta, who is taking over for Dr 
 Sandy Cope as a co-administrator of the list with me. Anita is also a 
 pediatric pathologist and she will help with some of the issues with list 
 subscribing etc. Please continue to be patient with us if you are having list 
 issues as we often get busy in our day jobs. If your message to the list 
 doesn't post and it says it is because you are not a member, please see if 
 you need to update your email address on the membership page. Remember you 
 can only post to the list from an email address that matches exactly with one 
 on the subscriber list. You can always send us an email at the 
 histonet-owners address and we will try to help you out. Best wishes for a 
 happy and safe holiday season.

[Histonet] warthin starry problems

[Linda Margraf]

Dear Histonetters:

Here is a message I am posting from Tasha...she hasn't yet joined the list but 
is eager for answers to her question. I will forward answers to her or you can 
send  them directly to her at
tmcampb...@fmh.orgmailto:tmcampb...@fmh.org


I need help with warthin starry stain please.  I am a very small lab trying to 
save money so I want to make the reagents myself.  I have sigma Aldrich dry 
reagents and have been making the reagents and following the instructions 
correctly and I did get the stain to work wonderfully when I first started.  
Then suddenly it quit working and I cannot get it to work again.  I have made 
fresh reagents day after day and I have a pH of 3.8 for the acidulated water.  
I am getting very frustrated and need some help please.

Thanks

In response to this message...

Hello,
 How do I go about removing a question from this site? Thanks!

Dear Chris,
It is very hard to get a submission removed from the Histonet list, 
unfortunately. There are websites that archive the list (in addition to the 
official Histosearch Histonet archive and the University Histonet server) so 
even if these were removed, the message would still be out there on the 
internet.  If it is a critical matter we can look into seeing what can be done, 
but in the past, we have been unable to remove messages from the list.
Sorry,

[Linda Margraf]

Dear Histonetters:

Thanks,  Marvin for a great summary of Histonet. (It is copied below if anyone 
didn't get to read it ). 

For those of you who don't know, Marvin has compiled the Histonet archive for 
many, many years on his Histosearch website. It is a great, searchable data 
source.  Thanks so much Marvin, for that, too.

Dr. Cope and I serve as the administrators for Histonet but it really is all 
the contributors that make it a worthwhile venture. We are both pediatric 
pathologist, by the way, so we really do have a lot of patient care 
responsibilities too. Do be patient if it takes us a few days to get back to 
you if you email us with questions or concerns.

Best wishes,
Linda M

Subject: Re: Reliable... Hi Bill (William DeSalvo), Let's try this: A Newbie's 
Guide to Histonet


Hi Histocare and any other relatively new
  people to
  Histonet,

  

  First, hello from Bill and I in beautiful Vancouver and NSH where
  many
  histologists are enjoying old friends and making new friends from
  around the
  world. Let's remember histology is still a pretty small field in
  the US with
  about 25,000 histologists working in about 7,000 labs, plus more
  and more
  working in research labs and companies. Over a career, you're
  likely to meet many of them if
  you come to enough NSHs. For those of us who have been on Histonet
  since the
  beginning (1996?), we would like to remind others of the facts of
  Histonet:
The Histonet listserver is an email listserver
  for the histology
  profession that is managed by Dr. Margraf and Dr. Cope-Yokoyama
  and is run on
  computers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
  University
  policies prohibit advertising, but do allow posting of jobs,
  probably so
  everybody can dream about being a histologist in some distant
  place. There are
  even some temp positions and jobs wanted emails posted every now
  and then. 
Histocare, your first posting was no problem
  and we enjoy
  seeing all the ways histologists use to market their talents.
  Three posts in
  one week is a little redundant. We got it the first time.
Companies (Vendors)  are
  permitted to post in response to problems of labs when they have
  something
  positive to contribute. Histonet currently has more than 4000
  members from
  throughout the world, with many thousands more who keep up with it
  through the
  archives. The archives have over 30,000 visits a month from over
  50 different
  countries. 
We all want to read questions and answers about
  problems in
  histology. Many of us remember before Histonet when labs had to
  actually solve
  their problems by themselves. Now over 30,000 times a month a
  histology problem
  is solved by one of the eloquent answers of contributors to
  Histonet. 
And Histocare, you can be anonymous on Histonet
  if you like,
  but you might want to search the archives for others opinions on
  it. It has
  been discussed previously. And when you have a website, you can?t
  be anonymous,
  because I was able to do a whois search and get your name and
  address. I would
  recommend using your name and credentials proudly. 
So, let?s get back to solving histology
  problems on Histonet and leave
  Dr. Margraf and Dr. Cope-Yokoyama alone. They have patients and
  stuff they?re
  working on. Just remember to treat others in your profession with
  respect on
  Histonet. You just might meet them one day at NSH. And remember to
  think twice
  (or three times) before hitting the send button with a negative
  message. Thousands of us
  really don?t want to hear it.
Histonet welcomes all histology questions and a
  vast
  majority of the participants think if you don?t know the answer,
  it?s not a
  dumb question, so feel free to ask. Those that don?t think so will
  flame you
  mercilessly off list for posting, but I recommend you ignore them.
A little research in the archives shows me that
  94% of the
  time an email war breaks out on Histonet, testosterone is
  involved?
Respectfully,
Marvin Hanna

[Histonet] unsubscribing from the list

[Linda Margraf]

Hi, histonetters.
I tried to get a note added to the bottom of the messages so it says To 
unsubscribe click here but the wonderful University IT guy who helps keep the 
list running says it cannot be done and I am pretty sure he is correct. I also 
tried to figure out a way but with no luck. For people on the digest version of 
the list, every digest they receive starts with all the important links.  
Here's what the header of the digest says,  for anyone needing the information:


Send Histonet mailing list submissions to

  
histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edumailto:histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu



To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit

You can reach the person managing the list at

By the way, I do remove people (or add them) about once a week or so, when I 
can get into the server. My new remote access only works some of the time (ahh, 
 the wonders of technology). So if you have an issue, do let me know but it may 
take a while for me to be able to fix it.

Dear Histonetters:
I wanted to let everyone know that after nearly 20 years at UT Southwestern 
Medical School ( and 16 years serving as the Histonet administrator), I am 
leaving the University of Texas.  Dr. Sandy Cope-Yokoyama, one of my 
pathologist colleagues here at the University and at Children's Medical Center 
in Dallas, has graciously agreed to co-administrate the list with me. I will 
now use a gmail account to follow the list and deal with day to day member 
issues (lindamarg...@gmail.commailto:lindamarg...@gmail.com). Dr. Cope  will  
help oversee the administrative functions and answer questions about whether 
messages are appropriate etc.   Both of us will receive the email if you send a 
message to the list owner  and I am hoping  everything will run smoothly.   
Thanks for everyone's participation in the list.  It is amazing it is still 
going strong, with 3500 members, after all these years!
Cheers,

[Histonet] Unsubscribing from Histonet

[Linda Margraf]

Dear Histonetters:

Hi, I haven't put out many messages on the list recently.  I have just been 
quietly administering the list (and occasionally removing people who ask to be 
unsubscribed as my time allows).   By the way,  Histonet is coming up on its 
16th year anniversary (wow!) and  there are currently 3543 members on the list 
(from 30 countries as of my last tally).

As it keeps coming up,  if you wish to unsubscribe or modify your account 
options,  go to this link:


http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/options/histonet

You will need to request your password if you don't know or remember it.  I 
tried to get this link added to the bottom of all the messages but apparently 
that is not possible with the current software.  If you have trouble getting 
off the list, let me know.If your email address has been changed at your 
organization, you may have trouble posting messages or unsubscribing. If so, 
let me know (but provide me with the old address that is on the membership 
list) and I'll try to help.
Thanks,

RE: [Histonet] Submission of tonsils to Pathology - #2

[Linda Margraf]

Richard;
Our children's Hospital (Children's Medical Center Dallas where I am the lab's 
Medical Director) made tonsils exempt from required pathologic examination 8 or 
so years ago following approval of the medical and surgical staff.  We now only 
receive tonsils the surgeons are concerned about (transplant patients, 
asymmetric lesions etc.).  Our surgical case accession numbers dropped by about 
800 as a result of this but we do feel we are doing what's most cost effective 
yet beneficial to the patient.  We get one or two cases a week now. We have 
about 15 other items on our list of specimens that are exempt from pathologic 
review.  It is important to have the pathologists work with the clinicians to 
generate the list of tissue specimens that don't need to come to pathology.

I apologize; I should have stated my question differently.  Our Children's 
Hospital wants to stop sending tonsils to Pathology unless the surgeon requests 
pathological examination.  An article published in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck 
Surgery (Nelson et al.) concluded that pathologic examination of tonsils is not 
a cost-effective use of limited health care resources.  Zero cases of 
unsuspected pathology were identified on planned gross specimen evaluation 
(n=4186) and positive pathologic findings on microscopic analysis (n=1066) were 
only identified in post-transplant patients.

Have any of you exempted tonsils from submission to Pathology?  If not, maybe 
we should.

 Both of you are officially banned from the internet.  Forever.  Don't use

 And don't EVER join a mailing list.  EVER.

 Emily, who would love to unsubscribe you so I didn't have to get your
 ridiculous emails about how you can't do it your damn self.

 A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly

[Histonet] RE: CAP question for pediatric pathology labs

[Linda Margraf]

Dear Ronnie
We at the Children's Medical Center, Dallas do a twice a year slide exchange of 
ten cytopathology cases with another Children's Hospital.  We actually learn a 
lot from this exercise as they critique slide quality as well as diagnoses. All 
the Anatomic pathology faculty take part in case reviews and we meet as a group 
to hear about the results of the other program's review of our cases.  It is 
also much more pertinent to the nature of our pediatric  pathology material 
than the CAP program would be (and the price is negligible).  We have never had 
a CAP inspector have a problem with this type of program. We are careful to 
keep it all well documented in our quality records.

Subject: [Histonet] CAP question for pediatric pathology labs
Importance: High

CYP.00190

Phase I

N/A YES NO

For laboratories that perform non-gynecologic cytopathology, does the 
laboratory participate in a peer educational program in NON-GYNECOLOGIC 
cytopathology (e.g., CAP Interlaboratory Comparison Program in Non-Gynecologic 
Cytopathology NGC)?

How are labs responding to this request for a peer-educational program in 
non-gyn cytopath, as there is no such program for pediatric cytopathology, and, 
in the opinion of our pathologists, the CAP program is useless as far as it 
pertains to pediatrics?

We have had varying responses from inspectors which we have adopted and then 
the next inspector says this isn't good enough and you should be doing 
something else. There has been little to no direction from CAP.

[Histonet] weekend fixation

[LINDA MARGRAF]

 Histonetters:
Here's a message I was asked to post..

Dear Colleagues,
 I  have the following question concerning tissue processing. We do a lot of 
IHC work on NF fixed tissue. To standardize and minimize the effect of NF 
fixation, we fixate the tissue always for 24h. This is of course a problem for 
tissues taken on Friday. In the past, we asked our technicians to come on 
Saturday to embed the tissues in paraffin. Unfortunately, this is not possible 
anymore, and that is why I need your advice. What would you suggest ? 1) to 
leave the tissue in NF until Sunday evening and start processing, or 2) to keep 
the fixation time (24 hours) and leave the tissue in alcohol 70% until Sunday 
evening and then start processing.
 Thanks for your advice.
Kind regards,
Wim.

[Histonet] misleading message on Histonet last Friday

[LINDA MARGRAF]

Dear Histonetters:
I got the message below privately from one of the list members and (with their 
permission) wanted to pass it along to the membership.

Dear Linda:
Matthew Semovoski [histosea...@gmail.com] posted this on Histonet this AM:
Hey everyone,
 I am looking at getting some supplies for a new histology lab. Has anyone ever 
purchased from Gorilla Scientific? www.GorillaScientific.com  I just got a 
flyer in the mail from them and it seems like they have some really good 
prices. I think I can save a lot on my slides if I purchase from them.
Has anyone else on here purchased anything from them?
 Thanks,
 Alex
histosea...@gmail.com 
Well it was not Alex who posted it was Matthew Semovoski who posted this  he 
is the man who answers the phone when you call up Gorilla Scientific. I as a 
sales person play fair  do not try to do any slick sales adds on histonet  
wanted to make you aware of this. (I really am such a geek  LOVE TO LEARN from 
Histonet too!) So I really do want to thank you for all of the hard work that 
you do  just wanted to make you aware of this instance.
Thank you so much  have a great weekend!


I don't want to turn this into a major discussion but would like to remind 
everyone that we run Histonet using University of Texas resources and they 
would not appreciate (or support) its use for commercial advertising even if it 
is disguised in a misleading message.
Thank you,

  Instead of spitting your venom try to learn

Sort of like you might consider learning correct English? I mean, its 
one thing if its not your first language, but despite how many people on 
here called you kindly and helpful, I find it perplexing that you feel 
compelled to call me a piece of ignorant, and TWICE, no less.

I do not speak French. This list is not in French. Ergo, my awareness 
(or lack thereof) of proper French diction has absolutely nothing at all 
to do with anything... aside form providing you a vehicle to call me 
names and lash out.

If you have something to say, say it. The simple fact that you do not 
like me does not give you- or anyone else- wholesale right to insult me 
or call me names.

You should be ashamed of yourself, Rene. I never expected such 
antisocial behavior from you, and frankly, when you behave so 
regrettably, I feel no compulsion to learn anything form you!

Re: [Histonet] Let's call a truce

[LINDA MARGRAF]

Histonet members:
As the list moderator, I now feel the need to ask everyone to please get back 
to the business of histology and related topics.  Histonet is run using the 
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center's resources and I suspect they 
would not look favorably on large volumes of off-topic messages.  As everyone 
knows, Histonet is a very useful resource because of the tremendous 
contributions of all the members (now up to 3200 people) and it would be a 
shame if a University official happened to review the recent discourse and 
decide this wasn't a good use of Texas tax dollars. 
Thanks so much,

[Histonet] Mounting media question

[LINDA MARGRAF]

We will soon be receiving our new Sakura Glas Coverslipper. Can anyone
who is also using this instrument please tell me what type of mounting
media is being used.
We are looking for a fast-drying media that can be used for tissue
slides, non-gyne and gyne slides. We are also looking at long term
storage without fading capability.
Our current mounting media - Surgipath's Micromount used on the older
model Sakura -Glas coverslipper does not dry quickly. Storage and slide
handling issues around this problem.
Thank you,

[Histonet] Newly blue

[LINDA MARGRAF]

I am posting a message for Jodie.
Hi all.  I*m new to posting to this list but I*ve been observing for
several years.  I was wondering if anyone has heard of or tried the
*Newly Blue* Hematoxylin substitute from Newcomer Supply?  I saw
information on it and am curious to try it since the price of
Hematoxylin still seems to be thru the roof.  Any feedback would be
greatly appreciated. 
Thanks.

Re: [Histonet] Presidential Voting Infomation etc.

[LINDA MARGRAF]

Dear Histonetters:
I am the list administrator and I would like to ask that people please refrain 
from further political comments on the list. I know this is a touchy topic but 
this is not the forum for these discussions.  Please remember, my colleagues 
and I at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center run this list 
using University resources and it would be a real shame if they were to decide 
this was not a good use of their funds due to the off-topic comments etc. The 
Histonet list is an amazing collection of 3300 people from around the world 
helping each other and we really need to stick to topics pertinent to 
Histology. Thanks.

Barack Obama will raise taxes on hardworking Americans to give a government 
handout to the 40% of Americans who pay no income taxes.
John McCain and Sarah Palin have an economic plan that celebrates the American 
dream of opportunity, not government giveaways. In this country, we believe in 
spreading opportunity, for those who need jobs and those who create them. While 
Barack Obama is ready to spread the wealth around, John McCain has a plan to 
get our economy moving so everyone has access to good jobs, a quality education 
and the opportunity to succeed.

The next President won't have time to get used to the office. America faces 
many challenges here at home, and many enemies abroad in this dangerous world. 
We cannot spend the next four years as we have spent much of the last eight: 
hoping for our luck to change at home and abroad. We need a new direction, and 
John McCain and Sarah Palin will fight for it. 

Time and time again this team of mavericks has stood up, taken on tough issues 
and delivered. They're the real deal. They have a clear record that can deliver 
results, not just rhetoric that delivers votes. 


PLEASE GIVE CAREFUL THOUGHT WHO YOU WILL VOTE FOR ON TUESDAY...PLEASE THINK 
ABOUT WHERE THESE TWO MEN COME FROM AND WHERE THEIR HEARTS TRULY ARE.  THIS IS 
A CRUTIAL ELECTION AND WE AS AMERICANS MUST BE CONFIDENT THAT OUR BEST DAYS ARE 
AHEAD OF US WITH JOHN LEADING THE WAY!!!

[Histonet] section thickness

[LINDA MARGRAF]

Histonetters:
Here's a query from Janet that she couldn't get to post to the list. Please 
respond to the list so she'll see the response. Thanks.
I would like to poll the group regarding routine practices for thickness of 
paraffin sections. I am particularly interested in brain, spinal cord, lymph 
node, tonsil, and renal biopsy 
Most references range from 3-6 um for routine tissues with 4-5um being most 
prevalent. What do you use? Which tissues do you cut at a different thickness 
routinely? 
I am not referring to special stains as the protocol would prescribe the 
thickness.
Thanks for your help.
