Hi,
This looks really interesting. Do you know if there is the same type of
path courses/workshop for rodents pathology?

Dear Histonetters,
Our pathologists are interested in rat heart valvular lesions. I am working on
trimming and sectioning methods to get uniform and reproducible morphology of
heart valves in paraffin sections. It seems that available literature dealing
with this is limited. Requesting your
We have the Leica Cassette Labeler. It works just fine. I have looked
at the Thermo Fisher Cassette Printer, which had a much smaller
footprint than the Leica. I would be tempted to go with the Thermo if I
have to replace my current labeler.
These are expensive instruments but worth having.
Thermo has a relatively low cost labeler for smaller quantities of
cassette printing.
The cost of the labeler versus the cost and potential for errors (hand
writing) needs to be considered when making this kind of decision. You
might want to do a study where you actually measure the time it
Good Morning,
We process about that many blocks per day also, and I would say YES it is worth
getting a cassette labeler. Leica/Surgipath has a small semi-automatic
cassette labeler that we are in the process of buying and we LOVE it. It will
print the accession# and the patient's name on the

Hi Itai,
I am interested to hear if you've resolved this problem. We use the same
kit to stain mouse heart and embryo sections, PFA fixed. Our protocol is
similar to the one you mentioned. I cannot get nuclei staining with this
method either. The nuclei are well stained (ie black) up to the
I do Weigert's staining for 10 minutes and use it for a week at the most. I,
too, have heard conflicting times about the stability of the Weigert's, but

the best results with using it no longer than a week.

In general, we found the original/classic Weigerts iron hematoxylin stain to
be weak and almost washed out of tissues after staining with Massons
Trichrome. We no longer use the original formula, but a more concentrated
modified formulation that is not differentiated out as much by the acidifed
My first reaction to the what is happening to our field, was WOW. It
seemed unkind to me, as if they original poster should not have asked these
questions. With further reading of the replies to this post, I am not so
sure it was an unkind response, but one of potential shock and dismay to the
As I look through and monitor questions, it is apparent that our field is
declining. These are very basic questions not about special stains or IHC
stains but basic histology that should have been taught in histology 101. My
fear is that as we get older and leave the field, who and what will be

Assuming you are talking about the aortic valve
Remove the heart and dissect away as much surrounding fat as you can. Leave
some aorta attached.
Make sure the heart is very well fixed in formalin. If the heart is soft and
floppy rather than firm the next step wont go well.

I would have to disagree with your assessment of the emails. Our field is
very strong and is not in decline. Unfortunately, some supervisors around
the country are relying on archaic methods and do not want to see or welcome
change within the histo lab. We call ourselves professionals

Hi,
Autofluorescence in atheroma is a well known problem for immunofluorescence
staining.
I would love to hear input about how to reduce it to a minimum (if possible!).
So far, we are trying to detect apoptotic cells in atheroma by TUNEL staining
(Roche, TMRred) and we found the

Hi James,
I would take it a step farther with the continuing ed. I think it's beyond the
