Re: [Histonet] Schiffs

Schiff's reagent does not need to be refrigerated. It just needs to be screw-capped so that it doesn't decompose by loss of sulphur dioxide. For decades, Schiff has been stored in many labs at 4C for no good reason. It is used at room temperature in both of its histochemical applications: the Fe

[Histonet] setting up for staining

Hi, It's a good setup for a smaller volume lab. The racks hold 10 slides and the dishes slide together and link into a chain or can be used separately. I have used the dishes for antigen retrieval and they haven't cracked or warped. I haven't regretted the purchase. Cheers, Amos Brooks On

Am I missing something? I ordered Schiffs and sigma tells me it was shipped yesterday. Hello, today is Friday and last I recall Schiffs need to be refrigerated! You'd.. think they would realize this. Sorry all, have to vent. Bernice Bernice Frederick HTL (ASCP) Senior Research Tech Patho

[Histonet] Will dry ice damage paraffin blocks?

Hi Histonet, I need to ship some paraffin blocks and frozen tissue internationally to the same location. My instinct tells me that I need to ship the paraffin separately (at room temperature) from the dry ice package. But, now I'm wondering if that's really necessary. Should I ship 2 packages or

I am very interested in everyone's experience with this as well. I was just (this week!) looking into this set for performing FNA's in a doctors' office. Thank you in advance. :) > On Apr 17, 2015, at 8:41 AM, Emily Brown wrote: > > Hello! > > My lab doesn't really do staining (H and E, Ma

Yeah I've tried that as well but the strawberries didn't cut as well as I'd like. The chicken is nice because its muscle but tends to require a lot of soaking. -Original Message- From: Bitting, Angela K. [mailto:akbitt...@geisinger.edu] Sent: Friday, April 17, 2015 11:21 AM To: Piche, J

We use the same setup for our cytology staining. We run a Pap stain about once every three weeks. Those dishes and racks are sturdy. Thanks, Brian Cooper, HT (ASCP) Histology Supervisor, Path & Lab Medicine Children's Hospital, Los Angeles Sent from my Galaxy S3, so please forgive any weird typ

[Histonet] setting up for staining

Hello! My lab doesn't really do staining (H and E, Masson Trichrome) too often (maybe once a week), but I'd really like to have a set of dishes with all of the plastic bins and what not. Unfortunately, this costs $500 for just one row. Has anyone tried the newer set-ups like this https://us.vwr.c

RE: [Histonet] Orange peel for GMS

I got a nice GMS control from some moldy chicken in my fridge. I am also trying the onion. I haven't stained the onion yet but it actually cut beautifully so I have high hopes. I let you know how it turns out. Have a nice weekend! Jessica Piche, HT(ASCP) -Original Message- From: histone
