 Stick with the VIP's - either your old ones or a refurbed newer model or even 
 a NEW one if you have the money. I waited all my life for a VIP and I finally 
 got one about 6 years ago and I just love it. I do animal tissue and have 
 several different types of programs on the VIP (different embryo stages, 
 different animal species brains, plants, insects, and routine too!)
 It has never failed and produces excellent processed tissues.

 I used to work with 3 VIPs, one of which was 15 years old. I really doubt 
 that any of your VIPs could go at any time.
 I suggest that the money you have invest in refurbishing your VIPs, a 
 capital maintenance that the people from Sakura can do.
 I think you should go this way before investing in another instrument.

 Hi,
 I am looking for a reasonably-priced tissue processor for a research 
 facility.  We only process mouse tissue (100-200/day), and rapid processing 
 is not something that is necessary.  If possible, we would like the option 
 of using isopropyl alcohol for processing.  We currently have 2 Sakura VIPs 
 that we are happy with, however, they are old and could go at any time.  Any 
 suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated.
 Thank you!

[Histonet] Tuberculosis positive tissue

[Michele Email]

Hi everyone, was wondering what procedure you have when you find out after the 
fact that the tissue is positive for TB.   What Decontamination procedures do 
you perform?  Also what about documentation?  Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Michele Carr

 Have you tried nairing it prior to fixation and processing?  We have 
 validated that applying a very thick coat of nair on the nail prior to 
 fixation for 15 min to 1 hour (depending on nail size and thickness)  then 
 rinse with tap, then place in formalin and process. We do not have any issues 
 with nails falling off. Also make sure you use charged slides.

 Hi everyone was wondering what you do to get the nail from washing off the 
 slide during staining.  The nail is extremely hard and seems to be washing 
 each time. Could I soften it prior to staining and what do you use to soften 
 it?  Thanks in advance for all your responses.
