Hello there you awesome group of histo gurus... We have been running the new improved Artisan Gram kits. They say to use the standard on board staining protocol. This gives us no gram+ orgs. We reset the CV to its max. Still no blue. We used the same new kit reagents manually with the same instr

[Histonet] RE: FDA Disclaimer

Karla, the thing is, they may be called "IVD" under FDA nomenclature, but they are not all FDA "approved." Class I exempt antibodies (the vast majority) don't need FDA "approval" because they are ancillary tests used in conjunction with other tests to arrive at a Dx. Only stand-alone tests li

To All: We are starting up IHC at the lab and I have a question about disclaimer. If we are using all FDA approved antibodies, do we need the FDA Disclaimer on our pathology reports? And if so, what should it say? Karla Arrington =) Karla Arrington, HT(ASCP), HIT(AHIMA) Lead Histology Technici

[Histonet] RE: Floor Tiles

I don't think the ideal exists. Anything that is flat is going to have some slip issues, though the right floor wax can help, and maybe those peel-off sticky mats to catch dirt/paraffin. We have a vinyl tile floor that has a grid pattern embossed into it - 1" squares. It is pretty much non-sli

[Histonet] Gram stain not working consistently: how likely is it that crystal violet has gone "bad"

Dear Histoneters: If Gram stains are not always working consistently: how likely is it that crystal violet has gone "bad". My first suspect is the decoloration step, then age of the culture, then thickness of the smear. However, I do not want to disregard any possibility, such as bad reagents. Pl
