[Histonet] Ventana probes

2011-06-07 Thread Angela Bitting
I have a Pathologist asking me to try running Kappa and Lambda by CISH on bone 
marrow smears. Does anyone have any experience with trying that?
 
Happy strange Tuesday,
Angie

[Histonet] Ventana Probes resolution

2011-04-28 Thread Angela Bitting
Thanks to all of you who offered your help.
I did have a conference call with Ventana this afternoon and all my questions 
were answered.
 
I'll share with you all what I know so no one else needs to fret needlessly.
 
I didn't receive 2- 4ml vials of EBER Probe. I only received 1 when I ordered 
it. 
When you order the 760-1209, you should get 2 vials of Probe 4 ml each. 
I will be getting the second vial sent out to me tomorrow. So now I will have 
enough Probe to fill my ISH prep kit.  It was a production/shipping error. If 
Customer Support could have explained that to me this morning, I would never 
have been so frustrated. 
Water under the bridge. I have put Ventana back on my Christmas card list.
Also, they cannot give you the "recipe" but if your "recipe" doesn't work, a 
TAS can tell you what to try to fix it. 
I hope this info is helpful.
 
Angie
 
That's what I know, so thought I'd share.

At 100µL per dispense, to do 50 tests you will need
50 x 100µL = 5000 µL = 5 ml
You do need to dilute it

Sorry folks, in my impaired state of mind I made a boo boo. I need 5-6 ml to do 
50 tests. If the dispenses are still 100 ul each. Any thoughts?

Ok. Ventana is on my last nerve with this new probe configuration of theirs.
I have a 4 ml vial of EBER Probe here in my lab. I am told that this is good 
for approx 50 tests.
So at 100 ul a dispense, I need to bring the volume up to at least 15 ml 
(probably 16ml).  Not a soul under Ventana's employ will tell me what probe 
diluent to use, or what else I am supposed to do with it. I'm ready to add 
vodka.

If anyone out there has transitioned to the new EBER probe configuration, can 
you give a gal a break and contact me?
Sorry for the Thursday rantanyway Happy Lab Week everyone!!!

Before adding vodka, take some "sips".
