[Histonet] GI biopsies and special stains

Tests need to be medically necessary, therefore, we do not auto order stains on all GI biopsies. We wait until the H&E is screened and then order H Pylori by IHC on only those biopsies that need it. Andrea Bilger, HTL Team Leader, Histology York Hospital 1001 S. George St. York, Pa. 17405 (717

Does anyone have problems with their GI biopsies kind of shredding when cutting? I microwave process them in the Shurwave microwave processor. I have been doing this for over a year and only the past couple months I have noticed that almost every biopsy I cut has knife lines in it. I have to chan

Re: [Histonet] GI Biopsies

I work in a GI lab we cut one slide with four sections the first two sections are placed on the top half of the slide then turn ten more and then add it to the first two sections. If recut's are required we pick up the first few sections depending on the pathoIogist request. I hope this helps.

We do three (3) levels of two (2) sections on one (1) slide. Most pathologist and Histotechs like this as it gives the Pathologist everything he needs to see in order to make an accurate diagnosis and reduces the number of slides he must view. Brent D. Adams -BS, LPN, HT Acadiana Gastroenter

We are having an issue with our GI Biopsy H&E Stains. On our GI Biopsies, we currently cut eight slides, staining levels 2, 5 and 8 with H&E. The pathologist are noticing that the level two slide looks great but then levels 5 and 8 will have what they call "Blue Blobs" on the tissue sections.

Andria, another factor may be trimming the GI biopsy blocks. If trimming increments are too large, it may rip some of the deeper tissue out of the block, causing holes or possibly the chatter you are seeing. Check the block after trimming to see if there is any unevenness to the surface. Also
