We are having some trouble with our Von Kossa Calcium stain. Are there other stains that could be suggested to stain for Calcium in patient tissue?

After being well acquainted with the CAP question, in regards to decontamination of cryostats, I would like some feedback as to how some of you perform this function.
The lower cost cryostats do not contain a fumigation cycle but instruct the user to use alcohol and/or some type of germicidal spray for decontamination. I am hesitant about this and wondering if I'm just "old school" believing in formaldehyde fumigation for eliminating Hepatitis, HIV, and TB. In the cryostat manual, there is no mention of fumigation and the cleaner they suggest is not sold in the United States. Thanks in advance for your help!

Yep,
I missed one reference (by Prof Pearse) which I agree is my preferred technique:
Everson Pearse, A. G. (1950). Differential stain for the human and animal anterior hypophysis. Biotechnic & Histochemistry, 25(2), 95-102.
And where I used the stain: Henwood, A.F., (1983) "Crossreactivity in Immunoperoxidase: Human Placental Lactogen and the Pituitary". N.Z. J. Med.Lab Tech. 37(2):29-31.
I am proud to remember that I met Professor Pearse (God rest his soul) many years ago at an IAP meeting in Sydney - An icon (like Lee Luna, Russ Allison and Chuck Churukian)

back in the days when I worked exclusively in neuropathology in Glasgow, the tinctorial stains of choice for pituitary exams were PAS/OG and OFG (orange fuchsin green) methods. I don't have the references to hand , although I believe the first was attributed to Tony Pearse, but can probably pull up the methods if needed

Emily,
I would suggest the alizarin Red S Technique.
Since silver substitutes calcium in the Von Kossa's technique, it can therefore be regarded as a histochemical test for inorganic phosphates rather than calcium (see Meloan & Puchtler (1985) J Histotechnol 8(1):11-13).
Alizarin Red S for Calcium allows the direct demonstration of insoluble calcium cations where Alizarin Red S forms an insoluble orange red lake. The technique is made specific by pH control (Garvey et al 1989, J Histotechnol 12 (3):225-227). Alizarin Red S also forms lakes with other metals such as barium, aluminium, mercury and magnesium. Fortunately, the bright red colouration of calcium can be easily differentiated from the dark red of other metal-lakes.

We are having some trouble with our Von Kossa Calcium stain. Are there other stains that could be suggested to stain for Calcium in patient tissue?

Colleagues, thank you for your input with questions. Your input and our implementation have proved successful.
Hard work towards alignment of policies, procedures and practices to standards (CAP) all proved successful. Thank you to my staff, in particular SRA George Williams, for their hard work in preparation.
Yesterday, 18th April 13, we were inspected by CAP and we are glad to report that we had a very successful outcome: Our Anatomic Pathology department scored with: "Zero Discrepancies and Recommendations".
A very detailed inspection, in all aspects of our entire laboratory with 10 inspectors. Bottom-line: Our Lab is reaccredited another two years to serve our patient population.
Also glad to report that prior to the inspection that our lab was selected as the 2013 Advance Magazine National Lab of the Year! Please see the April edition of Advance Magazine.
Fellow Colorado Histo colleagues, I'll see you tomorrow for the Colorado Society of Histotechnology Meeting in Fort Collins.

Good Morning fellow Histonetters!!
I am hoping someone can answer this question for me. Is a General Lab Tech (working as an assistant) permitted to prepare FNA slides at the bedside, as well as
stain them using the Wright Stain before the slides being to the Pathologist for interpretation?
My thinking on it is that I believe that they should be able to because after all they make CBC slides and stain those.
We are having a debate in our department and I would like to know what the correct answer is before I would implement any training for the General tech.
Thanks ever so much!!

Hello fellow Histonetters:
Does anyone have an IHC technician / specialist job description that they would wish to share with me? I am in the process of creating a new "IHC tech" specific position, so any help is much appreciated.
