[Histonet] IHC pipettes:

What is the best pipette to buy for IHC? What ul range is best used? Thank you- Sent from my iPhone ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet

RE: [Histonet] IHC pipettes:

Most will work fine we have used Biohit and Eppendorf, you just need to take care of them, you need to purchase a stand, most vendors will run some deal when you purchase an entire set. I would purchase 3 - 4 different pipettors. We calibrate every 3 months. - 0.5 ul to 10 ul - 2 ul to 20

Eppendorf and the 4 different sizes, that Liz mentioned. Beatrice DeBrosse-Serra HT(ASCP)QIHC Isis Pharmaceuticals Antisense Drug Discovery 2855 Gazelle Ct. Carlsbad, CA 92010 760-603-2371 -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu

[Histonet] slide printer

Surgipath used to have a small slide printer. It would print individual slides. Does anyone know if there is still such a printer available? Thanks, Jennifer Mt. San Antonio College ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu

Re: [Histonet] minus 80 freezer safe time in power outage

Hello Tim, When I worked at UCSF, we had five -80C sub zero freezers stored in a cool room AND on those occasions, when a freezer did malfunction, our safe temperature was -50C - mostly because ALL our frozen specimens were brain. We had a protocol in place for checking each freezer (weekly)
