Is anyone willing to share their wax processing schedule for tendon samples? I
work on human and porcine tissues so the tendons are quite large , cutting
transverse and longitudinal sections for HE and PicroSirius Red staining.
We have a protocol at the moment, but are looking to improve it. I

It is not a CAP requirement unless it is required by your state. (I only know
because we just had our CAP inspection). Check your state regulations, but the
only states I know of off the top of my head that require certification are FL
and NY. That being said, your certification is a good thing

Comparing different products. Currently we have Cyberpath as our anatomic
pathology system. I am trying to purchase a cassette printer and slide
printers and am trying to figure out the added expenses for connecting these
instruments to the CyberPath system. I have an email out to CyperPath

Sanjeet asked about a Fite control - I suppose Mycobacterium leprae
infected tissue for the Fite-Faraco modification of the visible-light
acid-fast stain.
It actually is necessary to use Myco. leprae (which of course is
unculturable) rather than Myco. tuberculosis when staining for lepra
bacilli.
Your ventana rep should have some ppts that will give you info and a little
background on ISH and use on the ventanas. Especially if you are considering
bringing it on.

I'm looking for raw data on time studies that directly deal with the number of
blocks a PA can produce in a day and how many a histo tech can cut a day.
Thanks

Depends on the type of tissue.
Depends on the length of time your day is for a repetitive task.
Assigning an arbitrary number is counterproductive.

I have always found there are so many variables that having an expectation of
setting a set number is not always possible. I feel they should be compared to
their own standards and not of their co-workers. If they can cut or embed a
set number on a particular than they should maintain or
I agree with Diana, I found we had over a dozen different task mixes in a given
day for various techs. That includes mix of block types (bx, extensive lists of
stain requests per block, single HE, recuts, mega block, research cases),
other tasks (Staining, speicals, ihc, tissue processor .
This discussion is exactly why we do not count blocks at microtomy, only
slides. Counting slides is the equalizer for multiple levels and slides per
block. Count the most appropriate unit at a task (i. e. slides at microtomy,
blocks at embedding, specimens at grossing, specimens at accession
I went and saw the Primera cassette printer and played with it at the NSH.
Beautiful machine, lots of fun lights! The cassette is raised up - rather
than dropping down. Lots of little moving parts. I went with the General

Does anybody have any experience with these instruments?

Casey is correct--unless you live/work in a state that has its own
requirements, there is no national requirement to be HT/HTL certified. That
said, employers can and do enforce their own requirements, and there is
also the separate subject of being credentialed for the testing which you
are
Hi Michelle,
Yes, the CLIA regs are such a joy to read aren't they? To my knowledge
there is not a plain English version of them (less all the if, or, or,
and... fun on every line). However, the CAP is basically enforcing CLIA
regulations, so if it were me, I would start with the CAP molecular
