RE: [Histonet] RE: Glassware Cleaning, CAP Checklist Item GEN.41770

I am also the same as Joelle Brian, It never been questioned by CAP inspectors but since it's in the common checklist we have to follow that’s why we have a policy with simple procedure and record, the procedure almost the same as Brian procedure but some time we use the digital PH meter. Best

Re: [Histonet] Protocol for decalcifying and processing large bone section.

I would recommend using Kristensen's sodium formate/formic acid mixture. This is more gentle than formic acid alone and almost as rapid. Barry On Tue, Aug 5, 2014 at 12:01 PM, DiCarlo, Margaret mdica...@kaleidahealth.org wrote: I use 10% formic acid for large human bones but I don't think

[Histonet] p16

Does anyone know of a comparable clone to the Ventana p16 clone E6H4? I would prefer it to be undiluted (concentrate) so that we can titrate out the antibody ourselves. We need it to have publications that would back this up and/or stained slide pictures I can show our pathologist. Thanks

[Histonet] neutralize formalin

We pour our waste xylene/alcohol into a drum and the formalin waste in a seperate drum for a waste service company to remove. Problem is space to house 55 gal drums and we have more xylene/alc waste than formalin. Does anyone neutralize formalin and dispose of it down the drain? If so can

Hi Bret We are using 10% Formic Acid as well and checking the decalcifying end-point by using the faxitron x-ray system. I work with bone cancer for 99% of the time and Formic Acid is safer than any other one. Thomas -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu

Maryann: In spite of any seller's or user's opinion, I tried ALL available formalin neutralizers available in the market up to 2002 and was able to detect, after  the so called neutralization, significant amounts of free formalin still present. Because of these results I decided to keep sending

Before Ventana had p16, it was only available from MTM labs, if I recall correctly the name. I am not sure if Ventana is the exclusive vendor now or not. Good luck. On Aug 6, 2014, at 3:13 PM, Burnett, Brandy bburn...@capecodhealth.org wrote: I am looking for one as well, I wasn't sure if

For many years now I have used this protocol in Bone Marrow samples. The cortical of the bone is still a problem, but it can be solved with longer decal time. If you need to preserve morphology and antigenicity for Immunohistochemistry this is the best choice. Three Days Bouin’s Fixative (
