KImberly,
I have an Arcturus Veritas LCM instrument. Contact Molecular Devices at 1
-800-635-5577. I believe they took over Arcturus business and supply matters,
although Arcturus still manufactures the instrument. You can also access them
online at www.moleculardevices.com

On that note, we don't have a problem with clean slides, but the coverslips are
dusty as can be. Any suggestions out there?

Scott,
I would be happy to send you samples of our colored end slides or
charged slides. Please let me know if you are inte
Gary, absolutely the heparin is the problem. We (histologist) would
participate in the bone marrow procedure to make slides immediately with the
unheparinized sample. If someone is making those slides for you, they need to
use an unheparinized specimen. Of course, that makes the task of slide
I've used both over the years, and I love the tape coverslippers. The slides
dry very quickly because there is no mounting media step. The tape sticks to
the slide via a chemical reaction between the xylene and the tape. One thing
to remember with tape, you cannot use recycled xylene as your

I think John is right about identifying the cells by shape. I do LCM, and I
perform a rapid hematoxylin stain just for orientation purposes. The total
time from fixation to air drying is 7 minutes. Any more time than that, and
the RNA is too degraded to get good results from downs
Kim, how are you fixing the smear? Make sure to use acetone-free methanol.
Are you using a manufactured stain kit? If so, which one?

At my former place of employment, I had created a downtime procedure to manage
computer downtime for my staff which consisted of histotechs, cytotechs, admin
staff, and a PA (grossing). I currently do not have a copy of that procedure,
but I will try to get it a copy of it from a former colleag
Some time ago, I had tested each one of my staff doing the same procedures for
both formaldehyde and xylene. Procedures included, autostaining, processor
changes, staining rack changes, recycling, and disposal procedures. Everyone
except for one person was within normal limits. This one perso
Hi Nicole,
I've shipped slides many times in the hinged, cardboard slide boxes. If you
wrap bubble wrap around them and use extra bubble wrap or "peanuts" in the
shipping container so that the boxes don't move around, you should be fine.
Good luck,
