At the start of your lab activities you will have to rely on colleagues from
other labs willing to give you old blocks (those not required to be kept any
longer) that are positive for some procedures. With time you will build your
own collection from your cases.

I normally ask the candidates questions relating to

then ask them WHY Trichrome

Of course, the Pathologists loved it. The process was

that does have qualified individuals that can provide the skill sets you

Unfortunately, due to the scaffolding, the devices do not hold up well when

A mixture of isopropyl alcohol and mineral oil is the best solution to complete
a gentle and graded tissue processing.
To clean the tissue processor you can use a 5% solution of dishwasher soap in
isopropyl alcohol.

FYI, I've tried ClearRite, and while I guess it technically works...it's a
giant pain to work with because you have to extend out your times. I also
found that it screws with Eosin because if it gets moisture in it (which you

Just my two cents
Amy,
Try contacting the local hospitals for some blocks. For trichrome and mucin,

By networking with other facilities you can begin a
