We just use an empty lid top to the slide boxes. We save them as we load the
slide printer, to be used for this and many other tasks.
Kind Regards!

We use empty pipette tip boxes. They are the perfect size and fit right under
the edge and we just toss them when them get full.

Hello-In order to preserve scant tissue for future molecular testing, is anyone
processing their (needle) biopsies using only frozen sections and subsequently
storing the frozen specimens...and NOT paraffin processing them AT ALL?

I am in need of metrics for the use of requesting an additional histotech. Does
anyone have a system in place for presenting the need for additional FTE based
on volume, workflow, that you can share?
Thank you,

Wow! Now I really feel lucky. My cheap para trimmer came with a wax catcher
with disposable liners that is magnetically attached to the trimmer.

Cant't beat $40 and a practical mind-set though.

I use a block trimmer. I think it is safer for wrists. Being that you push the
block against it and I seemed to always pull when I scraped blocks.
I am guitar player and need my wrists.
I don't think it is a strong argument to say its faster then hand scraping
atleast not until a good

Hi All,
Could someone tell me what needs to be posted in the Morgue for inspection
please. I know CJD info., this is a new morgue and I'm not sure what all is
needed.
If you want a cheaper alternative you can use a ski wax iron. They cost
about $40. I mounted one upside down in a bucket and it works just as well
as the $500 para trimmers.

A fabulous idea! I suspect one could use a cheap travel iron although one
needs to devise a way to collect melted paraffin. Even our fancy para trimmer
didn't have catch pan for paraffin drippings.I suggest using a new or
receycled aluminum baking pans available in supermarkets,
We use a urine specimen container under the right lower corner of the para
trimmer and toss it each day.

Hi Histonetters,
I'm working on embedding bacterial cells in Technovit 8100 and am curious
if folks have any recommendations for dyes that can be used as a marker. I
first embed my cells in a small agarose plug, then proceed to infiltrate

Yes, check the ASCO/CAP guidelines there are correlation rates for positives
and negatives.

Hello everyone,
Does anyone have a source for cheap, low-profile blades for

Thanks!
