Dorothy,
A 0.5% aqueous Toluidine blue will suffice.
Stain either air-dried or alcohol fixed frozen sections for 1-2 minutes, rinse
in water, dehydrate quickly, clear and mount.
That's it!

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone worked with the MBP (human eosinophilic major basic protein)
antibody? If so, could you please provide the source of where you purchase it?
We would be using it on paraffin sections with Dako instrumentation.

We contracted with a flooring company and described what we wanted to
do. I will find out exactly what they used. It is similar to the
poured epoxy that one would use on a garage floor but with the addition
of an additional material that actually has some give to it when walked
upon.
I will post

If you work with picric acid (or Bouin's) in the lab, don't go with concrete.
Picric acid reacts strongly on contact with concrete. Weird, huh?

I am all for any study style that will help you recall for the test.
Given the HT test in 81 and the massive change in 2000 for the HTL, I
think it is best to just absolutely know the material by say reading the
suggested texts 2 or 3 times. I did that and it really worked. I read a

Hi William,
Our competency evaluation is done once a year as part of the employee's annual
evaluation. I don't actually have each employee perform the procedure as part
of the documentation, although. h, maybe an in-service to
discuss the new procedure with all employees?

Thanks, I am aware of Peggy's form. We have similar hard copy forms now, but we
are moving to an electronic system. It will be much more manageable for 125
employees.
When you state in your form the employee is competent, do you have
documentation to support that there was a competency evalua

When there is a change or new procedure made part of the existing manual it
is noted on a separate sheet designated for this. After this new or changed
procedure is signed off by the Medical Director it is given to the rest of
the department to read. This is initialed by each person on that sheet.
I used them to take my HTL exam. I found them quite helpful because not
only do they give you the correct answer, but they explain why it is
correct and why the others are not.
Good Luck.

Hi Friends,
What type of floor surface would you pick if you could design your own
histology lab?
I was walking through Costco the other night and noticed theirs is just
concrete. Compensating for leg fatigue on the Assistants who have to stand,
I'm thinking this type of surface might be easie
I was curious if anyone has ever used the Flashcards based on the Carson book
to prepare for the registry exam and if so, if you recommend them or not? I

Beatrice,
How do you show proof to CAP that your employees that use the procedures and
perform the tasks described in the procedures have reviewed and understand the
procedure when there is a new one during your cycle year and before it is
implemented?
CAP has changed the way they inspect and
Victor,
To my knowledge all you need is proof that the staff reviewed the manuals.
We accomplish this by a sign off sheet in the front of each manual we use.
The Supervisor, or designee, needs to review and sign off on each procedure
in each manual.
