Re: [Histonet] Preventing slide labeling mistakes

Hi Tim, We do everything you do, but we also match our blocks to the written number on the slides. We catch the majority of our mistakes at that point. The other is because the font on the label is so small, we have a hard time seeing the difference between 5's & 6's!!! I'm sure it's not our age

[Histonet] Preventing slide labeling mistakes

Hi, Can people share their procedures for preventing manual slide labeling mistakes? No need to include barcoding - we are exploring that but it is a ways off. We currently have a manual process: We prohibit pre-labeling slides in batches (many blocks/slides at one time), require labeling slide

Re: [Histonet] !0% buffered formalin corrosive?

10% Neutral Buffered Formalin, which is probably what most histology labs are using, is not corrosive and it has no hazardous designation what so ever as far as commercial shipping in the United States is concerned. The pH of this product should be between 6.8 and 7.1, hence the neutral designatio

RE: [Histonet] !0% buffered formalin corrosive?

I would consider formalin corrosive regardless of the form it is in. It is cytotoxic. That is why it kills and preserves cells and tissues so well. Regards Tony Henwood JP, MSc, BAppSc, GradDipSysAnalys, CT(ASC) Laboratory Manager & Senior Scientist Tel: 612 9845 3306 Fax: 612 9845 3318 the child

The only thing I can think of is perhaps you have a positive or negative pressure in the room that needs to be fixed. If you have competing drafts, or fans running, hoods pulling one way etc there could be a problem. Perhaps you could get an EHS group to do some air flow monitoring. Nick Mada

RE: [Histonet] IHC tests in house vs. sending out

Steve, Our threshold is 12 tests/year for bringing on a new antibody in-house. On the flip side, if ordering volumes fall below 12/year, we consider dropping the antibody. Linda A. Sebree University of Wisconsin Hospital & Clinics IHC/ISH Laboratory DB1-223 VAH 600 Highland Ave. Madison, WI 5

RE: [Histonet] IHC tests in house vs. sending out

First you need to determine which tests they have been requesting, and at what frequency. Evaluate the need over several months for each antibody. If it is ordered frequently enough to be cost effective and the pathologists will maintain competency, then you should consider bringing it in. ---

[Histonet] IHC tests in house vs. sending out

Hi Histonet,   I am trying to control which IHC tests I run in our lab vs. which tests I send out for.  My pathologists are interested in some new tests but I am not sure how frequently they are going to be ordering them.  I'd rather do them in house if I can, but I don't want to be throwing my

[Histonet] Re: freezing skeletal muscle

Galina Deyneko asks about freezing skeletal muscle. I'm not sure that temperature control of the isopentane is too important - it should be very slightly viscous. But do get rid of explosive isopentane and get a non-flammable substitute - see my previous posts on this topic. The technique for fre

[Histonet] !0% buffered formalin corrosive?

I have a question around 10% buffered formalin being shipped to us. The shipper considers this corrosive. I have been told that if the formalin is shipped in 6oml biopsy bottles it does not receive that "corrosive" rating when shipped. I have also been told that if the shipment of formalin is on
