[Histonet] slide disposal
Hi everyone! Thank you for all the great responses to my last question about metal vs. plastic molds. I have another question being debated however, How to dispose of slides once the required time is up (10 years for us). We have put the slide in sharps containers and then into biohazard, but are they really bioharzard, the slides only contain the patients accession number - no personal ID on the slides? How do you guys dispose of your slides when space and money are an issue?

[Histonet] metal molds vs. disposable molds
Hello everyone, We have a debate going on about purchasing metal molds vs. disposable plastic molds. Which is better? Is the cost better in the long run to buy metal?

[Histonet] ISH probes
Hello Histonetters! We are finding ourselves coming short on the time remaining that we can offer ISH Probes through Ventana. We have not heard when or if ISH (In-situ hybridization) will be offered any more through them. Does anyone out there know of other companies that would offer ISH? Thank you for your input.

[Histonet] Prostate core biopsy submission
Hello Histo-netters: My lab is starting to bring in more business with prostate core biopsies. Some of the submitting physicians would like to use a small piece of towel to lay the biopsy on and then place it and the core biopsy into the formalin container. Does anyone have any suggestions for what type of material would be suitable for this? I am afraid that anything cottony will be a problem when removing the biopsy during processing as it may stick. Thank you for your help. Sharon Campbell ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
