[Histonet] Fw: DIF on formalin fixed process tissue
From: Maryann Deathridge Sent: Wednesday, June 2, 2021 8:44 AM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu> Subject: DIF on formalin fixed process tissue Histonetters: I know the answer but it "never hurt's to ask" Is there any means of salvaging a "DIF"tissue sample which was mistakenly processed as formalin fixed tissue. Any tips, thoughts or ideas welcomed! Last challenge before 44yr retirement 6/4/21 :) Thank you in advance...

[Histonet] (no subject)
Hello All- We have a DRS 2000 slide stainer (new to us) in our laboratory. We are staining only routine H slides. I am not sure we have optimal programmed established. It seems to stain slower (even though) its double racks. Does anyone have a routine H protocol (we use clarifier and bluing) established that we could use? I'm thinking maybe we don't have the correct icon (exact, infinity) by the correct component. Any thoughts, ideas appreciated. If anyone has any experience with this unit please contact me or send me an email (madeathri...@pastnashville.com) ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet

[Histonet] cassette printer
Hi Histoland- Looking for a refurbished cassette printer. Currently using the Shurmark cassette printer. Prefer several hoppers for color cassettes, ability to print on Activ-Flo cassettes and Simport cassettes with no issues. At this point if it can just print. Need something to get through till we make a decision on the complete "system" (specimen tracking) for our lab.
