Here's my suggestion;
1) Perfuse the mouse with 10% NFB (their legs & tail will move during
perfusion, then harden if well perfused)
2) Remove intestine out & post-fix again with formalin for overnight
3) Fill a 10cc syringe with formalin & flush everything out
4) process
Hello!
I have a couple of questions for those of you who obtained your HT

Area, and I am really interested in becoming an HT. There are no HT
programs nearby (except for Kaiser employees, I believe). I plan to

Can anyone steer me toward a reliable vendor source for *Mycoplasma

I find the wording "cutting on an interview" interesting. It could mean
cutting out e.g. leaving and not doing the interview. Cutting =
sectioning?!
Sorry if these appear to be a "cutting" remarks.

We also have cytotech applicants look at some slides as part of an interview.
These are cases which have been signed out already (patient information is

their diagnosis.

The ones I've known preferred the cytospin and a cell block if they were not
doing a quick read. And a cell block over any smears if cells were limited. It
sounds like your dealing with a training issue if the smears are too thick.

A comment on why we have techs cut on an interview-
How do you pick the BEST fit in the 60 minute interview? The more information
you gather, the more likely you'll hire the best fit. Most of human
communication is non-verbal. Watching a potential new hire gives you SO MUCH

In San Diego the radiologists do the Fna's in the CT department if they
are wanting core biopsies. The Radiology tech will make the smears or the

and the s
Hi,
In regard to the FNA preparation, do your pathologists prefer the smears
obtained at the bedside verses the smears that are made from the pellet after
centrifuging? We find that the ones prepared at the bedside are most times
bloody.

Here too. Cytotechs are there to prepare the slides at the bedside though, and
the pathologist is called when the slides are ready for an immediate
interpretation.

Good morning,
I'm am interested in hearing the process by which other facilities obtain their
FNA'S. Does the Radiologist obtain the specimen and send it down to the
cytology dept. or does the histologist/cytologist assist with the collection?
Thank you in advance!

I was/am wondering because we do use Di water for our 80% (our lowest ETOH).
But it that processor was used in a different lab for several years so maybe it
got started there.
None of our other 3 processors had the problem.

I agree with Tim, but I am curious why tap water is being used to
