Check out the Histo-cool available from Market Lab or Mercedes Medical (and
probably others). We use the small ones at each cutting station and they work
great. You can pour a little water in and it stays cold all day.

We have a few different prefixes. We use Meditech and have different
enter/edit screens depending on whether the specimen is a cytology or surgical.
It also help in searches and gathering statistics if you can limit to a
specific prefix.

We did this a few years ago for our local coroner's office. They send us their
tissues and we process them and cut the slides. We return the slides and
blocks to them so there is nothing in our files. Are you returning the blocks
with the slides?
Pretty simple to do. I created a new
and use a small
spatula to scrap. With a little practice, I have found it to be quick and
efficient.

Are you including Cytologies as well? Cytology has the requirement of a five
year look-back. We keep all surgical and cytology blocks and slides for 10
years.

We put patients and controls on the same slide. We used to use the slides with
the red box for the control but encountered staining issues.

It is really just a freezer with a microtome in it. Do you have an on-site
refrigeration guy that could look at it? I have used our in-house guy a time
or two. Ours is pretty simple and does not have all of the electronics that
you may have on the Leica but it is worth a shot.

Each case gets one positive control per antibody. If, for example, I run a
bone marrow bx and aspirate, I use one positive control for both slides.

We have an alarm system that monitors all of the refrigerators and freezers in
the lab and our processor is tied into that.

Hello all,
I am looking to budget for a new cryostat and was wondering what others are
using. I would like one that is safe, well lit, roomy, and has some sort of
on-board decontamination routine. All input appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share a protocol for p16
(Biogenix pre-dilute) antibody on the Benchmark XT. I'm having a little
trouble getting anything to stain. Thanks.

there is no in the
vicinity after 4pm. It may be more that you want or need but they can probably
tailor a package to your needs. You can find them online.

Both. Fingers to lift one end of the ribbon as I cut it and then with the
other hand I use a small brush to lift the other end from the microtome.
Allows me to stretch and smooth the ribbon as I lay it out on the water bath.
Some others here us forceps, picks, etc.

I don't know about the procedure you have but ours only uses a 1% solution of
saponin, a 3% solution of calcium gluconate, and a balanced salt solution. We
get the balanced salt solution from our pharmacy.

. It lists for $775.
I have considered having a piece of steel welded to an old knife holder and
just adjust the chuck until it is flat against the steel. Should work and
won't cost $775.

CAP retention guidelines say that wet tissues are to be retained for 2 weeks
after final signout. We keep all containers, empty or not, for the 2 weeks
then strain and discard them in biohazard trash.
We have a large cabinet and designate a shelf for each day.

more and more smaller and smaller biopsies so it's better to keep a few extras
than to try to go back later.
