Is anyone anticipating new CAP changes this year in their lab with
respect to "grossing" tissue. We are not in the same site as the doctors and
we've been submitting specific surgical specimens for the Pathologist for 20
years. GI bxs, prostate needle bxs, etc. We've also been grossing d
All kidding aside, assuming your talking about something tagged with
firefly luciferase you can try using monoclonal MA1-16880 from Thermo
Fisher.

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share a protocol for p16
(Biogenix pre-dilute) antibody on the Benchmark XT. I'm having a little
trouble getting anything to stain. Thanks.

Hello -
I've been following discussion thread regarding a suitable cryostat for use
with human specimens.

I just wanted to thank everyone for the overwhelming response we got for

You would have to have an antibody to it and I don't know any one
exists, but I can be wrong.

HistonettersWe have received some dextran beads (coated with cells)
that are "snap frozen"...for cutting.
We have done these beads before in histogel/paraffin...but are curious
as to how best to handle them snap frozen. We have a nice bead with no
cells on our first to snap frozen sample block
Question: Can you stain Luciferase in tissues?
Answer: Yes, but the background noise is hell!

According with my experience your complement is adequate for your workload and
if I were the one you have to convince to get an additional HT, I would give
you a very hard time.

You can't get any better than a Leica 3050. That is top of the line to me.
Unless there's some really expensive brand out there I'm not aware of. I
love our 3050. I guess your problem is you need a UV lamp, and the 3050
doesn't have one. I would say stick with Leica, their cryostats are
awesome
