[Histonet] RE: Histonet Digest, Vol 68, Issue 29

The discussion on the 70's has been very nostalgic. I also worked in a lab with an Auto-technicon, no hood, benezene and chloroform, mixed with the smell of xylene and formalin (it was the aroma therapy, of the decade for histology). We didn't use gloves to reach into the open beaker to fetch out the cassettes and plastics were done in the adjoining lab, no hood, no door. All reagents were just stored under the table...in pretty red containers and the dust from preparing fresh dyes, often dusted the open balance. My pathologist smoked in the morgue during the autopsies... and I wish I only knew then, what I know now.
However, at age 61, people often compliment me on how good my skin looks. I usually reply...aroma therapy and good fixation!
PS: My lab is now LEAN and Green and my tech's use all PPE. Safety in the Lab is priority one! ...and a final note, I work on an entirely smoke free campus! How the times have changed!

Ah, yes. The '70's. Our lab had 2 windows, both on the same side of
the wall. The pathologists cut under one of the windows and it had one
of those box fans, pointing out. In Michigan. No hoods, an old
duo-autotechnicon and xylene in full use with disposal down the drain.
Every day, I would go home not knowing if I went thru a red light or
not, arriving home , head still cloudy for about 30 minutes until it
cleared. Ah..those were the days?? Although I miss it, I'm glad I had
to give up my coffee and donut when cutting. Treats in the drawer are
gone, mouth pipetting is gone (not mine, but yes, the mouth does turn
black from silver nitrate!!) Progress is good. But I still like my
'70's music!!! Bob Seger and old motown!!! ;)

I can't imagine why any one would use dioxin, which used to be used as an insulator and heat convector in electron microscope transformers, as a clearing agent. I think you mean dioxane.

I can't imagine why any one would use dioxin, which used to be used as
an insulator and heat convector in electron microscope transformers, as
a clearing agent. I think you mean dioxane.

And I used to use dioxin in my tissue processor and would actually dip
gauze in it to clean paraffin off my fingers.

I can remember back in the late 70's sitting at my microtome in a
clinical lab (that was the size of an elevator shaft = no
ventilation),where my supervisor would puff away on cigarettes with an
ashtray perched on top of her microtome. When we had inspections
everyone would put their contraband in their "personal drawer". I also
interned in an ENT lab that processed with celloidin (=ETHER) and didn't
have windows or a hood. That supervisor also smoked in the lab! I said
a prayer every day that I wouldn't blow up or be asphyxiated during my
two week stay.

We have had our Peloris since Feb. and we love it. We use the 6 hour program
for our regular tissue and the 8 hour program for breast, thyroid, colon,
melanoma, sentinel nodes, prostatectomy. The one hour program for prostate
biopsies. We use Formula 83 instead of Xylene, or you can use Xylene free
processing using Isopropyl alcohol.
We like being able to run both retorts at the same time, of course they
don't finish at the same time but closely. Your reagent usage drops also.
