They come in, give their opinions on how to make your workflow better. I didn't get much from it, we didn't make any changes, more of a selling tool in my opion. I guess if your workflow was terrible, they might be able to offer good advice. On a positive, they were all very nice. Thank,

RE: [Histonet] RE: Ventana LEAN

Another benefit of someone coming in from the outside (Leica did the same for us), is that since this is what these people do every day, management is more likely to listen to their suggestions. If it's the same as yours then that would reinforce your current plans. If it's different than what

[Histonet] Turn Around Time

Hello Histonet I am just curious what the standard for Turn Around Time is for most labs. I think a two day turn around time from the time the biopsy gets to the lab to the time the pathologist signs out a case is pretty fast. Thanks for your input. -- Dawn R Bugge Seattle Histology

In the US the standard (or most frequent) TAT is 24 hours. In other countries the TAT varies greatly, in extreme cases up to 1 week for surgicals! René J. From: Tom McNemar tmcne...@lmhealth.org To: 'Dawn Bugge' drbu...@gmail.com;

RE: [Histonet] Price for preparing IHC slides

I believe that this would be highly dependent on the antibodies used, how often the antibodies are used, slide costs, tech costs, overhead, etc. What would be average for 1 institution might be above or below average for another. What are you trying to determine, Ann? Joe W. Walker, Jr. MS,

Re: [Histonet] Price for preparing IHC slides

This is a fascinating question, Ann - I've been studying this topic for the last couple of years in five countries. While I do not yet understand this complex phenomenon as well as I would wish to, these are my impressions about life here in the US. It is a ridiculous tale, but I will tell it

RE: [Histonet] Turn Around Time

While I recognize the need for a quick result in some cases, I also subscribe to the theory that speed kills. I'm not sure that these quick TATs are always medically necessary, but rather more of a convenience.However that is another discussion altogether. That said, our institution

RE: [Histonet] Turn Around Time

I agree with you, Martha. That is why we look at it from an average of all cases for the month. We definitely encounter cases that are difficult and require more time with our pathologists. We track the TAT for statistical purposes only. The CAP (for those who are CAP accredited) has

Re: [Histonet] Turn Around Time

Martha: So, do you mean that you are not satisfied with the quality of your slides? If you are, I just do not understand your concerns about a 24 h TAT! The fundamental issue is to develop adequate protocols assuring quality as well as a convenient (24 h) TAT. Just my 3 cents (after inflation!)

RE: [Histonet] How to De-stain trichrome

Hi Hans, It is possible, though it will depend on what you want to do to the slides afterword. The problem arises from the use of phosphotungstic or phosphmolybdic acid which is used for differentiation and mordanting in the trichrome stains like Masson's. These are very difficult to reverse
