last. To make sure that you have not cut through the area.

Our problem, in my opinion is a control issue and not a staining one..our
pathologist wants to see the bugs in certain areas-glands(spelling
appologies!) its called, the circular groups of cells, in the middle of
these areas and not just occasional bugs in other areasEverywhere else

30 blocks/hour, including rough cutting, is the standard. That's
supposing a few (5-10) levels, specials, etc.
If I am cutting all big tissue, what I've heard called "onesies" (just one
slide each), I can cut 60 blocks/hour.

I was also taught to run a positive and negative every time you do an
immuno stain, provided there is sufficient tissue. I was trained at AFIP, by
the people that wrote the second AFIP staining manual (the red one). Of
course, if cost is your number one concern.
Yes, you should run negative controls with each run - today and tomorrow.
Something can happen in tomorrow's run so tomorrow's negative control
will have different issues from today's negative control.
The negative control should go through everything that your
slides go through, whether it's today

We do not run additional negatives with each run on the same block. If it was
a different block then yes we would run a negative.
It takes up too many spaces on the machine and uses reagents.

If you do a run of several immunos today and you run a negative control,
and there is a request for additional immunos tomorrow, would you run
another negative control with the additional slides. They are being

Well said Pam. All the speed in the world means nothing if you can't produce
quality slides. The suggestion to do things the same way every time is a good
one. However, learning what works well on what tissue is very helpful too.

Worry more about quality than speed at this time. I measure my staff on quality
rather than how fast things get done. It's a waste of time, energy and
resources to have to re-cut blocks because of poor quality. Speed comes with
time and experience.

I agree with Cynthia. Practice and setting up a standard system of how you
cut. I do the same thing every time with each block I cut. Cutting faster is
not necessarily a good thing if you are jeopardizing quality just to cut more
slides. It's quality over quantity in my book any day!

Practice, practice, practice!
