Absolutely can be used on the tissue processor or for staining.

Hi all, stupid question (despite what all the college professors said, yes, I
think there are some stupid questions and this is one of them, I should know)!
Someone dropped off a bunch of pure ethanol, they don't need it, I said I'd
help dispose it... can't be used for processing can it? I seem
Forgive me if this has already been discussed ad nauseum... what are your
thoughts on using old blocks for IHC control, like normal breast for CK7 or
AE1/AE3... if we test the tissue and it works is that sufficient or is there
some added steps and requirements I should be aware of?
We have
Not sure what everyone else is doing but we're buying a TON of DI water for
bulk IHC reagents... I'm looking at a system to install to produce our own.
Anyone have any recommendations of a good, cost effective and efficient system?
Thanks!

Simple question for you all, is there a market for these machines, I have 2
that we used for only a few months then shelved, I'd like to find a home for
them. Before I go through the effort of searching for an aftermarket vendor I
am really just curious if anyone uses these things?
Thanks,
Hi all, specifically in the Miami area...
I have a friend who is interested in learning more about being a histotech...
unfortunately I'm across the country and can't help train. Do any of you know
of a facility who might be looking for a tech and is willing to train, from
scratch, zero
I use neutralex from Scigen (www.scigenus.com)...

Hello,
Can you
We use some of this clear vinyl, like you'd see in a walk in fridge... get the
wide stuff and cut it out to fit under a cutting station. It completely saves
the floors and when it's trashed out we can just throw it away, get he floors
cleaned and put some more down... works great for me.
I'm looking at this processor, can someone other than a Leica employee offer
some feedback? I've heard good things about it but I've also read a little on
the FDA website about some malfunctions... if anyone has any thoughts I'd
really love to hear them before I commit to this large purchase...
I'm hoping someone might have extra PCP control blocks... I'm pretty close to
out, down to our last one... I'm happy to barter and even offer a gift card for
the effort, I know we can't buy/sell tissue, just a gift card to say thank you
if I may offer...
Best!
Curt
I've used several different popular programs over the years at our reference
lab but they are all built for much more than we really need. As a reference
lab, doing large numbers of block histo with specials and IHC, we really don't
need so much in terms of report and results... we do need that
I have a problem... some tissue got processed very poorly, there was water in
the system somewhere and a few blocks just look burnt.. the nuclei are faint
and cloudy, no detail at all. I've tried the process of rehydrating with the
30% formaldehyde, glycerol and sodium acetate solution but they
So we're in a reference lab setting here, it's a little different than the
hospital environment... I've been in both.
We receive specimens from a variety of different hospitals, physician offices
and even other labs for histology (TC), we send the slides back. What I'd like
to do is implement
Looking for someone who might have experience with this already My CLIA and
State license are going to expire soon and I've heard nothing from either the
state or CLIA So I took the liberty of reaching out to them with no luck...
I then called an inspector I know who suggested the main
Quick drive by question,
We have some tonsil that has been in formalin for about 2 months, to be
disposed of, is that not recommended for use as control tissue now, too much
formalin exposure?
Thanks for your input again,

Hello histo-world,
I've helped a company develop a new tissue processor, a rapid technology which
does NOT utilize microwaves and process fresh, fatty, breast and colon type
tissue, beautifully, in under 5 hrs. We are ready to put it in the market but
first want to do some kind of official
This might be an unusual request and I think I may have already asked in the
past too... but here goes...
I'm working with a company who is developing a new tissue processor which
basically cuts processing time in half. We've run a number of parallel tests to
demonstrate the results are equal
Hello again histonet-ers-
I am working with a company do validate a new rapid (another new) tissue
processor... we are currently in the process of submitting a proof of concept
paper to CAP then will submit a formal white paper with data. What I am
curious about is locating tumor tissue that
This isn't directly related to histology but I know many of you are involved in
other studies as well so I thought I'd ask.
We're working with some physicians on a hair analysis project, looking at some
genetics. Does anyone here have any background in hair analysis for more than
the forensic
Anyone out there running this ab with red vs dab? I have a client who used to
like it but it seems to fall off the face of the earth, wondering if it's back
on the market anywhere...

I made the mistake of ordering CC1 instead of Ultra CC1 I guess that can't
be used on the benchmark ultra It's an "ULTRA" thing I guess...
Anyway, anyone out there use regular CC1... want a couple bottles? Brand new,
unopened...
