Ice is still the best coolant because it adds moisture. As Lee Luna used to
say Rehydrate, rehydrate, rehydrate For tough blocks, face it then add soapy
water to ice with some ammonium hydroxide. Like magic!

We have been running in every position every quarter!! Very expensive.
We record the lot # of verifier slides and the results. If one position
fails, we repeat. No photos.
We recently took advantage of Ventanas special promotion. They will
come here and have someone perform all quarterly

Greetings to all,
In immunohistochemistry, I am encountering confusion in designating muscle
fibers (based on staining color intensity) to a particular fiber type.
This problem is particularly bothersome when i encounter the fibers stained
with 2 different colors, one color has good

Acid phosphatase is a standard procedure in FFPE (Formalin Fixed Paraffin
Embedded) tissues. You will need to process your tissues accordingly.
Xylene is also standard procedure even when it should be avoided because of

I am not the only forum member who is concerned about this. I have
received private messages from others who agree with me and choose not to
reply to all. I will not repost them out of respect for their privacy.
The facts that you take what you do seriously, or are not disrespectful are
moot.
The building I am in does not have a cold room and I would like to incubate
some samples overnight on an orbital shaker at 4°C. Can anyone recommend a
refrigerator with an interior electrical outlet or another alternative? Thanks.

Aaron,
We have a refrigerator from VWR that has a glass door like a Deli frig. and
it has an electrical outlet inside as well as outside. That could be a starting
place to look. :)

If you do that and announce your availability on Histonet, you are likely
to be criticized publicly by a few, while others send email and twitters
to one
another privately discussing your attributes, and those who like having
the information
that you are available probably will not speak up in
Go get em Jay! I agree with you 100% this forum should be kept free of
blatant advertising. I'd also like to give you credit for not stooping to
the level of this anonymous poster after he or she publicly tried to
belittle you.

Ok, let me put this issue to bed.
It's fine you feel you need to be the
voice for those who have all the help they need and will never need the
services of a histology professional to help cover staffing shortages or
inadequate/ineffective staffing.

Kudos to you too for reading the entire message. If you had, you'd see the
