Re: [Histonet] Question about delayed start in Leica Tissue Processor
The easiest way to remember is to count the midnights between starting and ending - therefore today will be 0, tomorrow 1etc On Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 6:24 PM, Jenny Vega histotech...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, that is what makes sense to me.

I have little experience using the tissue processor from my lab which is an old version of the Leica TP1020. I was taugh that since on weekends the processor is not going to be used then you have to set up the days of delay for example 2-18:20 (2 represents saturday and sunday). On Monday (tomorrow) I have the day off, so the processor won't be used. When I come back on Tuesday I have to change the the time as 0-18:20 so that the processor starts working that day and on wednesday. On thursday, friday, saturday and Sunday will also have the days off. I am confused because my supevisor told me to set the time as 3-18:20 next Wednesday, and since I will not be working in the lab for 4 days straight that does not make sense, it is suppose to be 4-18:20 instead. I think she made a mistake telling me that since maybe she confused the program of this week when the processor was programmed as 3-18:20 because used for 3 days straight (saturday to monday). My supervisor won't be in the lab next week so I cannot ask her. This question seems silly but I want to be sure. I know that if tissue is left for a long time in paraffin the tissue can get over-harden and I don't want to program de delayed start as 3-18:20 thinking it is the correct way when is not.

She is right.

RE: [Histonet] Question about delayed start in Leica Tissue Processor
So that makes 4 the correct number because she is starting it on a Wednesday (day 0) Thurs. =1,Fri.=2, Sat.=3, Sun=4 and then it would start that night at 18:20. Sun. would be included (according to the manual) because the count refers to how many times the clock passes by midnight.
