[Histonet] Jobs - both temp and permanent

Hi everyone- I haven't posted in a long time--though I've been reading every day! In light of the changes in the economy and our work situations, we're getting more and more permanent & temp-to-permanent openings than temporary travel opportunities. We still have travel jobs and are always looki

RE: [Histonet] ER/PR HER2 Redux

If I were inspecting you, I would ask you to show me how you are in compliance. I would not stop until you showed me documented times in formalin. I would want to see something like " Formalin fixation time in 10% NBF is 18 hours" Mike -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsou

[Histonet] Accu-edge sales rep

Hello, I just opened a brand new box of Accu-Edge high profile blades and I cannot get the very first blade to slide out of the container. Even though I have had the box of unopened blades for some time, I was wondering if you can guide me in some way that I can retrieve these blades without c

[Histonet] IHC frozens

Hi Kim. You can do HIER on frozen sections, but first you must fix the sections. The purpose of HIER is to 'unmask' antigens that have been altered by the effects of fixation.

Re: [Histonet] Re: IHC on frozens

[Histonet] ER/PR HER2 Redux

Funny, I thought I had this issue taken care of but we are once again discussing it! What are others doing to verify formalin fixation times? Is it "good enough" to have a blanket statement in the report that we are in compliance of the 6-48 hour required time ( we have fixation time on contai

In response to this thread: >< Kimberly: Your question has a two parts answer: 1- it cannot be done because the sections will peel off, but most importantly 2- it is not necessary since HIER was developed to "undo" the cross linkage produced by the NBF fixation, and the tissues used for?FS are no
