I rinse off my microdissection tools right after use, so any gross
contamination is gone before it has a chance to dry and stick like superglue. I
then soak them in demi water with some handsoap for 15-30 minutes, and scrub
with an old toothbrush. To avoid damage to the cutting edges, lay the
Hello all,
The technician who does preventive maintenance on our LX-120 tissue
processor recommended that we use xylene as the solvent in our clean cycle.
We are considering using a xylene substitue in the clean cycle and would
appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks very much,
Carla Conway

Use a 5% solution of a strong lab detergent in isopropyl alcohol. Since the
cleaning cycle is completed at 50ºC that will be enough and you will not have
to expose yourself to xylene vapors.

I think most tissue processor vendors recommend xylene for cleaning and do not
recommend a xylene substitute. This may have changed recently but I would
suspect it would void your warranty if you were still under one if the vendor
recommends xylene and you are using a xylene substitute
Carla,
We use Formula 83 in the clean cycle. We do change it more often than you
would xylene though.

I am curious as to the frozen tissue retention policies in other institutions,
especially in children's facilities. How long are samples considered
diagnostically viable and relevant to patient care? What is done with the
tissue when the time limit is reached?
Our facility is interested in

Hello to Everyone,
Has anyone had experience doing CK5 and p63 in the rat? Could you please tell
me where you get your antibody? I currently use Biocare's for human and will
try it this week on the rat. I just was wondering if anyone had any other ideas.
Thank you for your help.

I have a question which was asked before but I don't remember the answer, how
many CEU's are required by CAP for a histologist in New York City. Thanks in

CAP does not put any number as to how much CE is required for working techs.
Just that there is a CE program (54200), and that there is a record of CE in
the personnel records (54400, #6).

I use a excelsior and was told to always use Xylene in the cleaning cycle.
Since sub is not as pure as xylene ( obviously) you could be at risk of
developing paraffin clogs that the sub may not get. Using one xylene in the
cleaning has not effected the odor at all in the lab. Good Luck.

We're having trouble staining murine articular cartilage with Safranin O. We
first started using this stain last year and it was working nicely, with strong
staining of both the articular cartilage and growth plate. After a while, the
stain stopped working, with staining only visible in
