[Histonet] Cutting room and social distancing

[Shannon Gower via Histonet]

Hello all,

In my lab,  the histology room is small with 4-5 people in close proximity to 
one another. Is anyone else considering modifying shifts to separate staff and 
reduce exposure in this crazy world of COVID? 
Trying to make the best plan while expecting every to change day to day. Any 
ideas on how to keep labs free of virus?

Any input is appreciated

Re: [Histonet] IHC negative controls

We purchased a Universal Negative reagent from Ventana and then we use that in 
a prep kit, totally eliminating the need for Mouse and Rabbit negatives and a 
lot of extra space on the carousel.

[Histonet] FISH on paraffin in pediatrics?

[Shannon Gower via Histonet]

Hello Histo world,

Is there anyone out there who is doing FISH on FFPE tissue in pediatric 
facilities?  Seems most of the research is going in the direction of adults and 
I would like to incorporate some of these new testing procedures in our lab.  
Cytogenetics is getting busier and busier, Histology wants to compete too!
