There's a circuit board on the arm near the barcode scanner that controls the
movement and orientation of the arm. If that circuitboard malfunctions, then
you can see some of the erratic behavior that you are describing. That's one
possibility I can think of that might cause that kind of problem

I may be wrong about this, but I don't think Rex has anyone else distributing
his stuff yet. However, some of the stuff they sell is merely products that
they relabel to distribute themselves. So, it depends on what specific
products you're talking about.

Have you tried using a different lot of the Ultra View Red... Ours has been

Hey Joyce,
My understanding has always been that if the pathologist specifically
mentions the stain in the report, then it's OK to charge all the fees.
However, if the pathologist chooses to leave any mention of the stain/immuno
in the report, then you can't bill for it. So if the pathologist men
We've got the old workhorse, the VIP 1000, that we still use. During a

a copy? It would be much appreciated!

There was a discussion on this recently, so you may want to search the
archives for it. In my opinion, the easiest and best control to use is
Mayo. Just smear it on a slide as you need it and there you go. Cheap and
easy.

Just use Mayo (not fat free, of course!) and smear it on the slide like you
would a blood smear. It stains beautifully.

My guess is that either your 70% wasn't made up properly and was a higher
concentration or it's been so long since you've changed the solution that
the water is fully saturated with the formalin salts. If it becomes a
regular problem, you might consider reducing your first alcohol's

We regularly embed 6-12 pieces on end in one block without any special
method. You just have to be quick... and don't leave the block on the cold
plate very long... just touch the cold plate briefly while embedding the
individual piece, then lift the block off the plate until you grab the next
pie
You can always call Sakura... they'll at least tell you what the codes
means...

I was just wondering if a lot of people use the RTU antibodies available out
there for H. pylori. Currently, we're testing the RTU from Dako and we're
having issues with a lot of background staining. After tweaking the
protocol a lot, I've managed to get a lot of it removed, but there are still

We use the Tissue-Tek Glas with great results. Knowing how Sakura loves to
just relabel Leica equipment, it might be the same as the CV5030, but I'm
not sure. Either way, I've been very impressed with the Tissue-Tek machine.
