[Histonet] RE: rolling sections

I agree - the sections don't need to roll. You can scrunch them and put them in the tube. I used to cut paraffin rolls / sections and manually extract DNA from them. You'll find that some roll very well some others not at all. My advice is to when you scrunch them, leave them more towards the

[Histonet] RE: GMS better than PAS for Fungi

Tony, Thank you for your explanation, however, I think the original question was from a histonetter seeking to eliminate Chromic Acid from their standard GMS stain due to it's abusive reaction problems noted in the microwave, and was inquiring ideas if anybody has experience with another

Re: [Histonet] Formalin in operating (surgery) rooms

I think this is mostly a safety issue, and suggest NOT allowing any amount of formalin in OR/surgery rooms. 1. Training: Doesn't matter how much or how little formalin is in the room. If it is being used in a room, then everyone using it MUST receive yearly training on formaldehyde and on

Re: [Histonet] Formalin in operating (surgery) rooms

Forgot to add: 4. Formaldehyde Monitoring: Each OR room would have to have formaldehyde monitoring of all positions involved in the handling of the formalin. This can be time consuming and expensive, to have to do this for each OR (who says the ventilation flow is the same in each OR?). It

[Histonet] RE: Formalin in the OR

Wow, this is such a safety issue with an accident waiting to happen. I totally agree with Peggy that Formalin should not be allowed in an OR room. Even a gallon spill would be cause to evacuate and can you imagine the consequences of that? We have a small room off of the OR suites stocked with a
