[Histonet] Studying for HT

I felt like the most important part and the majority of the test came from information about special stains. I think the last time I looked special stains made up about 70% of the test. So definitely know the information but very importantly know the "color plates" from the books you are using

[Histonet] Sakura VIP 6 vs Excelsior

I can't say anything positive or negative about the Thermo excelsior. I got some information from our sales rep and the processor seemed really great. But when it came down to it we had to stay true to Sakura and we were not disappointed. We have the VIP 6 and we love it. This processor has s

[Histonet] Histology Day

Thanks to the Air Force and AFIP! I entered basic training and did not have a guaranteed job. I listed Histology as the 4th choice in my order of preferences for job placement, having no idea what in the heck histology was. No one there knew what it was either and I thought I'd be doing "norm

[Histonet] Masson Trichrome, Alligator Heart Tissue, colors turning out purple

I've been using the Masson Trichrome kit from Richard Allan since 2001 and I've always gotten really great results. It is a little more expensive than using home made reagents but the results are very consistent. Kelley ___ Histonet mailing list His

[Histonet] xylene alternatives

Nothing works as well as xylene. We have tried several different substitutes and nothing has provided consistent results. Xylene has a slight tolerance for water. Unlike xylene substitutes. If any water is present in the substitute before coverslipping the results are disastrous. So unless

[Histonet] Experience with Tissue Tek VIP6 processor

To Kathy & Kim, Just went out to CA for Sakura training on the VIP. We love our VIP 6 processor and the training they sent me for was phenomenal. We purchased this model and became somewhat familiar with it on our own. Then I got to go for the training and learned so much more. It has so

[Histonet] Superfrost plus gold slides

I've used superfrost plus gold slides - for frozen and paraffin - and they don't seem any better than the standard superfrost slides. Are you warming your slides in the oven before deparaffinizing? What temp and how long? We warm ours for 15 minutes in 56 degree oven. While in the military fu

RE: [Histonet] (no subject)

I completely agree with the other responses you've gotten on this inquiry. Moving from clinical to animal research, initially, I thought I was doing something wrong or had "lost my touch." But upon further instruction from my histo supervisor in my new lab I was able to adjust. So - going in

[Histonet] Mouse eyes

My question concerns mouse eyes. Can anyone send me their fixation suggestions? We are receiving mouse eyes that end up with a "wavy" look instead of a nicely defined "C" and have no explanation for this occurrence. Can anyone send me their mouse eye processing schedule? We have a protocol t
