Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Ive never heard of it until now. I
want one too, it does seem like an asset for microarrays, how much$ do they run?

Is anyone using the Thermo/Microm Secton Transfer System on their microtome?
I am looking to get an external alarm for our tissue processor. Any suggestions?

Hi fellow histonetters
I have a colleague that is completely new to immunohistochemistry. I have gone
over what I could with him, however, I think that some literature would help
him more. Do you guys know of any books or articles that could help a beginner
like him. I do not have any on hand
Dako has some excellent training information for beginners and I think Leica
may also have something. If you talk to your Dako rep or contact them by phone
or look online you should be able to get the information fairly quickly.

We have ours tied into our security system so that when the alarm goes off
we get a call from the security company. Works quite well!

Hi All.I have recently been given a new position and am now in charge of
quality assurance for our entire organization.
While I have been involved in many QA projects and have carried out QA
throughout histology, I haven't
had much experience is looking at QA in its entirety. If anyone has
Sheila, CAP has a concise QA book called Quality Management in Anatomic
Pathology. They tie in the CAP checklists to each section for easy reference.
There is a companion book for clinical laboratory: Quality Management In
Clinical Laboratories: Promoting Patient Safety Through Risk
Congratulations Sheila on your new position! Agree with Tim Morken on his
suggestion of a book- I have used that one a lot myself just in my regular work
( I'm not specifically assigned to Q/A).
Also, If you are going to get into CLIA mod-high complexity tests, I also like
the CLSI guidebooks
We were recently contacted by our hospital indicating that we are in
violation of OSHA by using the process we currently are using.
Currently, we provided prefilled 10% neutral buffered formalin
containers to the surgical suites, birthing units, etc. They fill the
containers with the specimens
This to me seems very odd. Almost exclusively specimens are sent to my lab in
formalin. Placentas are usually sent fresh simply because of their size.
If anything, the birthing unit may not be in compliance, but it has nothing to
do with the lab. The formalin containers must be properly
What exactly is the violation?

This was the message I received this morning: (I asked for the specific
documentation on the violation). I also asked why the OBTs are NOT
using precautions when working with the placenta and formalin.
Just discovered this am that we are using formalin filled
buckets for placentas going
And we just passed CAP with zero deficiencies.

Ah, I think that the key thing is that the OBT's are not following
procedure and their procedures are in violation of the OSHA regs. If they
were to use the proper PPE and instructions, there should not be an issue.
Also, make sure that there is some kind of spill procedure/kit available.

We sent part of what we had to ProPath so if you need a reference lab to send
to, they offer this IHC test.
