We are getting new lab chairs for our Histology deparment and are wondering
what other labs out there have used. We want something that has good ergonomic
support, is not cloth, because of the paraffin and is not too expensive. Any
suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We got chairs from VWR - catalog number 80086-440 VWR(r) Contour(tm)
Self-Skinned Urethane Chairs, we got these back in 2007 or 2008 and they
have held up great, they are comfortable and clean very easily. They
might be a bit pricey. I think I paid around $150.00 to $200.00 for
each back
We have two benches assigned to check and fill out inventory sheets once per
week. One inventory deals with special stains and IHC along with other items
that are in the same room. The other deals with accessioning, cutting and
processing.

Yesterday I inquired If and how labs did inventory for specials and immunos. I
meant to ask IF and HOW labs do end of year inventory for specials and immunos.
Thanks!

I have to agree with Jay. A couple of years ago, we purchased new, expensive
lab
chairs (from an office supply store that customized) and they look great even
now. I think it's worth the money from an ergonomic standpoint and also because
they hold up much better.
Just my 2 cents!

We do it annually. We use a combination of reports from our Materials
Management Dept. and from our order spread sheet. (I keep a spread sheet of all
items ordered).
It's not totally accurate because of the chemicals and stains that have been
here forever, but it's close enough for Mat Mgt.
Amos and Eric - you may this cost comparison chart in our December 20

I'm not certain that this will fix your problem, but I'd
ditch the Tween in the final wash or two before mounting.
There may be too much residual buffer on your slides when
you add the Prolong - I wick off as much as I can, without
drying the tissue, before mounting.
You let the Prolong
This book, and a couple of others by Mitchell, are availible for free if you

Static spray might work on the coats. To keep static at a minimum we keep
wet paper towels in our waste tray on the microtome. The more moisture the
better.

Use fabric softener sheets. You can wipe the blades and knife holders with
them. My daughter's American Girl magazine says to pour lotion in your hand,
rub it between your hands and while it is still shiny run your hands through
your hair to control static.

We like the Sigma components. We buy them ala carte, though Poly Sci stuff is
just the same.

If you use lotion in the lab, won't it get on your slides and cause havoc

Hi Sarah,
One of our staff uses the static spray now and then. It works pretty
well but the fragrance isn't the greatest. We also have a couple of
humdifiers in the lab. These seem to help as our air in central Oregon
is a bit dry on this side of the Cascades. Don't know if dry air is an
We have Cerner Millennium, and have a report built in it to calculate this
information for any time period. It will give me the number of patient slides
as well as control slides.

Hi List,
I am looking for a slide labelling system to print labels for our
research histology samples that will survive pretty much anything we
throw at it. There seems to be lots of choices out there for chemical

resistant to
You know, all of it sounds so easy...unless you're cryosectioning!!
Does putting a humidifier outside help with static in a cryostat? Because
the static is driving me nuts. Why aren't there teams of people working on
this issue? It keeps coming up, yet there is no one good answer,

long ago there was a cute system that worked with superfrost type
slides - you know the ones that have the sort of coloured ends -
etched through the paint to make a permanent marking
Common HB pencil also survives on ordinary frosted slidesand
surgipath pen marking esp if used on superfrost
