Re: [Histonet] cytology control slides?

What I used to do was when I got a thick specimen we would prepare 20-30 slides and run one of those each day for a positive control. We also ran a blank slide as a negative control to insure we didn't have contamination in our reagents. Doing these two things were part of our lab to meet CAP

Re: [Histonet] giemsa stain control

Why would you need a Giemsa control? ANY tissue, but especially tonsil or bone marrow section, will stain with Giemsa if done properly. It is not a tissue you will need, but a correct procedure that will stain properly a test tissue. René J.. From: Gale Limron

For trichrome: appendix is the most universal control I know of. Then maybe a kidney. GMS: store bought controls are nice, but if you live close to the local morgue try them, every so often they get a good case that they can spare some. Hemosiderin: Fetal Liver is good, or as you say

Re: [Histonet] Armadillos living at AFIP

Of course I know AFIP closed, I was there the day they shut the doors. That doesn't answer the question of what happened to the armadillos. I'll bet someone put them in a box with a blanket and gave them away in front of Walmart.

I'll bet you a nickel she means H. pylori controls. Good luck with that one Gale. I worked in a lab that is sitting on 100 lifetime's worth, but it's a secret... (hint: inadequate sanitation, low social class, and crowded living conditions are related to H. pylori infection.)

Re: [Histonet] Armadillos living at AFIP

Armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) are more or less unique in being easily infected with human leprosy; in fact, about 2% of Louisiana 'dillos are naturally infected. Obviously these animals would be quite an infection hazard. What I want to know is - is there any way to obtain armadillo tissue
