I'm sure there are worse comments that could have been made to your "opinion"
that someone should be licensed to coverslip. Obviously you realize the cost
for labs for such an act? Coverslipping is not technical in my opinion. (or
CLIA's and CAP's )

This sounds like an ideal mix. Thanks for sharing-all people can help for sure.
I appreciate that you expect people to strive for certification, still think
that is important to the future field as a whole moving forward.

Hi all,
Matt asked about the duties of a non-certified Histology aide. We have had
this position for about 4 years and I consider it absolutely vital to the
running of the lab. We originally started with a half-time assistant working
in the afternoons (the time with the busiest call volume).
I'm looking for brain tissue containing ms plaques for use as a control for the
Luxol Fast Blue Stain. Would anyone out there be willing to part with a block
or know of somewhere I can order such control slides? Thanks for your help!

When using automation, you should always keep a short supply of your most

about coverslipping. It is not really the act or task of coverslipping to me,

Eosin is soluble in water, and as dewaxing most certainly will end in
water, the eosin will be washed out by 70% EtOH and distilled water.
Check your eosin to be sure.

Use the van Gieson stain. Just make sure that ALL the reagents are fresh
