I believe at some point I got some at a paint shop like Sherwin Williams. Carry
mine with me in my "box of tools", works great.

On a recent CAP inspection, we did have an inspector ask to see our slides from
our HER2 validation. For the past 5 years, we have kept all of the slides from
our validation studies along with the paperwork in a notebook. These glass
slide holders have worked well for keeping everything togeth
Laurie,
The question to ask is, what is ACHIEVABLE with the technology you have in
place? The term is ALRA or ALRP...As Low as Reasonably Achievable, or Possible.
For instance, when we hand-wrote slide labels, and used offline cassette
printers we accepted that we would have a rather high rat
Is there a national average or benchmark for "acceptable" labeling errors in
Histology?

Following antibody validation studies, do you keep your slides accessible for
CAP to peruse during inspection? Has anyone had CAP actually ask to see your
slides? I feel that keeping the validation forms, signed off by the medical
director, is sufficient, but I would like other opinions.

Southeast Pathology was giving out scrapers at NSH this year but in case you
didn't get one - go to the cooking section of Target or Walmart and see if they
have a scraper to use on teflon surfaces. A squeegee works good on molten wax
surfaces too. Otherwise, a snow scraper might work too.

How does everyone handle the use of recycled formalin in regard to tissue
processors? OK to use on the processors? We have just recently installed the
Creative Waste formalin recycler and I am looking for guidelines from those who
have experience in this area.

Home Depot or Lowes sells plastic scrappers in the paint area. I cannot see
why we would pay top dollar for this item. I also purchase brushed to clean
paraffin off microtomes at the craft store. 50 cents each is much better than
5 dollars.

Metal scrapers may remove some of the ceramic coatings on embedding centers,
they do have plastic putty knives at Lowes or Home Depot or where ever you get
hardware.

Hi,
Santacruz Goat sc-1506 works well on rabbit tissues. Good lucks.

Hi,
We are trying to run CD31 in rabbit tissue. We've tried a couple of different
antibodies with no luck. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction-
does anyone have a CD31 they have had success with in rabbit tissue?
Thanks,

You know what works better? A small, metal drywall taping/mud knife-maybe 3-4
inches. They're more flexible than the plastic scrapers, and I think they
actually pick up more paraffin per pass. You can pick these up at any hardware
store.

Hi all,
Where can I purchase the whit plastic scrapers used to scrape the paraffin off
embedding centers and other surfaces. I believe ours went out with the trash.
