Hi,
?
I would first check with your alcohol and xylene suppliers to see if
they changed anything.? When something?goes south it is usually because
the manufacturer have changed.? This happened with my silver stains.
?
You may have to go back to the basics- harris hematoxylin, acid alcohol,
and eosin y.? Richard Allen 7211 hematoxylin and the rest of their
staining is excellent in these situations until you can get it back
under control.? If you send them slides they will work a time out for
you.
?
If you are using Leica's selectech, which is what I started this lab out
with because I was heavily sampled out,?it has blue nuclei instead of
the traditional purple.? I do 5 minutes in hematoxylin, 30 dips in
clarifier and 1 minute in blue, 55 sec in eosin but I have (2) 95s
after.? They also have a tech dept to help.? I have a Leica autostainer
too.
?
I hope this helps.
?
Linda Dee, HT(ASCP)

Happy Friday Everyone

I just wanted an opinion on what everyone's facilities train for
annually.
An  example is HIPPA training. I know what my regs require, I just
wanted to see what everyone else in histoland was doing. Thanks in
advance for all responses. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Finally
we are going to have a good weather weekend in Western NY.

You can also check with restaurant supply houses, we have purchased
great large containers with lids for this purpose.  Much cheaper than
the lab supply houses.

Too much blue is mostly a problem of too less red.
Have you checked your Eosin? pH? Rinsing after eosin?

My personal issue was sometimes too thin sections. Those looked also
rather
pale.

I attended the Tri-State Symposium in Dubuque, IA last week (which was
fantastic) and sat in on a "Boot Camp for Histology" workshop.  At this
workshop I realized that some problems we have been having with
sectioning could be due to our processor set up.  

Before microtomy we have to soak our blocks for 10-15 minutes, and I
suspect that this is because we are over dehydrating our tissues in the
during processing.  Our first solution, which the cassettes sit in for
about 8 hours until the overnight processing begins, is alcoholic
formalin, which is 450ml buffered formalin, 900ml water, and 3300ml 95%
alcohol.  Our processor is a Leica TP 1050 that has been chugging along
for about 20 years now.

The reason we use alcoholic formalin instead of just normal buffered
formalin has been lost to the mists of time, and I was wondering what
you all use as a holding solution on your processor, and why.

Thanks!

  We use 10 %  Neutral Buffered Formalin. It is a wonderful fixative and
gives us really great fixation.
It does sound like you are overly dehydrating your tissues.

Hi All,
We are looking to purchase 2 cassette labelers and would like some
feedback on which ones you might recommend. Also, is there a difference
between Thermo's Printmate and Microwriter? Looks like the Printmate is
just a newer version. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
