[Histonet] Fungus contamination on AFB slides
Hello to all in histoland. We are currently having a problem with candida on
our AFB slides. We are doing the stain by hand due to the unavailability of
the AFB kits from ventana. We are using bottled sterile water for rinses and
the slides are not being put in coplin jars for staining. All solutions are
being pipetted on to the slides. All alcohols are fresh and the kit which is
from American MasterTech is new, just opened. This by the way is a cytology
case(cystospin). Containers to run down to water have been bleached. Any
suggetions where to go next.

[Histonet] Formalin
Hello to all in histoland. Happy Friday. Last week we were inspected by a new
group of surveyors that are like JCAHO called DNV. They said that we had to
much formalin stored in our gross room. We had 15 gallons. They told us that
we could only have 2 gallons there at a time. I have never heard of such. We
were just inspected by CAP and I might add that it was an intense inspection.
They checked everything. This never came up. What is the recommended amount of
formalin that can be stored in an area. Does it need to be in a flammable
cabinet? The cabinet that we have the formalin in is so old that we are
having a vendor to come out to check to see if it suitable for chemical storage.

[Histonet] Checks and balances for specimen accessioning
Hello to all in histoland. What types of checks and balances do you
have in place for specimen accessioning. We had a incidcent where I was
accessioning a case and I did not catch that the name on the container
was different from the name on the requisition. The resident grossing
did not catch it either. They usually peel back the copath label and
look at the name on the label that came from the procedure area. In my
case the resident did not do this. It was not until the pathologist saw
a discrepancy in the age on the requisition and what was written in the
pertinent history, that it was determined that it had been mislabeled
from the beginning. I did a incident report and the area was cited.
Besides making sure that who ever is accesioning cases checks that the
names match, what else can be done? Any help in this will be greatly
appreciated.

[Histonet] H&E Stain
Hello to all in histoland and Happy New Year. We are having issues with
our H&E stain. The nuclei are staining very blue to purple and the
mucin is staining blue to purple-blue. It is difficult to see the
nuclear detail. The mucin is obscuring things. We have not changed our
process for staining or processing. The funny thing is that it is only
in the Biopsy cases, and it is every few slides. The surgical cases
are all right. We checked the alcohol and xylene for water, and there
is not any. My tech changed out the stain and we are staining a new
batch of slides. If anyone has any idea what is wrong, any help would
be greatly appreciated. I have gone over our processes and nothing has
changed. The reagents are the same, the staining times are the same,
and the processing times are the same. We are using the Shandon Gemini
stainer and VIP processor.
