Now that I'm done with my rant I have a real question. We are trying to do a
gram stain on fish and the safranine O is staining everything red. What other
stain would you use? I usually have time to look at the books but
unfortunately it's almost quiting time and the slides need to be done by

How does everyone accession their cases? Guidelines for checking cassettes &

Hi all,
For the past several months, I have been attempting to get double
immunofluorescence with two goat anti-mouse antibodies on mouse FFPE bone.
The antibody that is giving me a lot of trouble is the goat anti-VE-Cadherin
from R&D Systems. Essentially, it seems to work without the tyramide but
Hi, All,
I primarily section bone, and it's usually paraffin. I second the
vote on chilling the blocks (I chill mine in ice water instead of the
freezer, so if I forget my blocks the wax doesn't crack!), and using
ice water on a swab to keep the block chilled as you section.
Generally I secti

Oh Budget cuts again! I been checking the web for a used disposable blade
holder for the Microm HM 310 Microtome with no luck. Does anyone have an
extra one laying around that I can purchase cheaply? .

Yes, since there is still a difference between ER/Pr and Her2 recommended
fixation times (ER/Pr at 72, Her2 at 48 hours) the defacto max time for ER/Pr
is still 48 hours. They say they are studying the issue

My problem is that we do not work weekends. If I have a breast that comes in on
Friday afternoon, I have to cut it in and have it embedded on Sat. morning. If
the guidelines are 72 hr for everything then I can process it on Mondays.

Tony, thanks for your very helpful common-sense approach to answering my
questions. It seems that baking time needs to be as standardized,
well-controlled and well-documented as other steps in the IHC process.

I am not sure what the problem is here. You have to fix for up to 72 hours no
more you can do less time. If you are already fixing your her2 for 48 hours,
then what needs to change? You are not going to submit different cassettes
for Er/Pr to fix for longer? You will submit them all and fix
This was my first post about this issue: (I got no responses for)
Yes, the paper is there, however, I see they addressed the fixation time in NBF
for er/pr but I do not see where they talk about the time changing for her2. So
