[Histonet] rolling sections

I have some researchers that want to do PCR. They want 10 - 10u sections in a micro-centrifuge tube. The only way to get the sections in the tube is for the sections to roll. How do you get sections to roll when you want them to roll? I've tried room temperature, on ice, brand new sharp

[Histonet] RE: rolling sections

Hi, I think that it is not necessary to actually get them to roll. We just collect all of the sections and put them into the tube. Scrunched, not rolled. Helen -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On

Re: [Histonet] RE: rolling sections

That is how we do it also.  Since they are not really interested in the sections being flat we just pick them and put them directly into the tube.If I am really having issues I will actually warm the block with my finger to help it roll.  If they are doing DNA or RNAase ou may need to wear

[Histonet] RE: rolling sections

We do the same thing on our lab. It isn't necessary for them to rollwe just catch them and fold them up and put them in the tube.   Martha Ward, MT (ASCP) QIHC Manager Molecular Diagnostics Lab Medical Center Boulevard  \  Winston-Salem, NC 27157 p 336.716.2109  \  f 336.716.5890

RE: [Histonet] RE: rolling sections

Hi Roberta, Check with those requesting to see if you can cut the equilivant but with thicker sections that will roll- like 5 20's or 2 50's. The rolls are lots easier to get into the tubes. Tom T -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu

Re: [Histonet] rolling sections

Try changing the angle of the knife blade, so that the clearance angle (angle between the knife blade and the block face) is larger. In other words, tip the top of the blade towards the block more. If there are numbers on the side of the knife holder, you want to move it to a larger number

RE: [Histonet] Processors again

We have 4 Excelsiors and love them. We also have one Leica ASP300 and it is a great workhorse for us. I think it just depends on your lab and what you like or what serves you best. Pam Marcum -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu

I do not like the Excelsior, not very user friendly. The VIP is good but my favorite is the Leica Peloris On Jun 12, 2014, at 12:08 PM, anita azdud...@hotmail.com wrote: Sorry to bring this up again but wondering if anyone has used the Milestone Logos One? I have info on the Excelsior, and

[Histonet] Vantange/ block printer

For those of you who have Vantage, which block printer do you use? I've heard Leica has one with 3-6 hoppers that can print the 2D barcode on it pretty fast. I currently have the TBS block printer, but I'm told it can print the bar code, but very slow...Any suggestions? Thanks!

Re: [Histonet] Vantange/ block printer

Thermo also has a cassette printer that works well.  We have t he cassette printer (6 hoppers per unit) and slide writers that work for us.  Pam Marcum - Original Message - From: Amber McKenzie amber.mcken...@gastrodocs.net Cc: Histonet histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Sent:

[Histonet] RE: Vantange/ block printer

Amber we got the Leica inkjet printer (6 actually). The 2D code reads very well. It prints at 5-7 seconds per cassette (depends on how much text you cram on there!). It is about the fastest printer out there. Data General is about the same speed, if you print with a reverse image ( black

Re: [Histonet] Processors again

I used the Logs quick processor and it was really nice for small biopsies, no experience with their routine processor.  Have 6 Excelsior's and love them. STP TJUH ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu

We use one from general data. Seems to work well with us, the only thing is you have to change the hopper when you want to change the cassette color. We have learned to just batch all the specimens together that have same color cassette. I believe you can get another model that has the
