Hello Histoland,

I need some advice, I have a PT block that is positive with Spirochetes.
What would be the best way to use this block as a positive control?

1)  Cut (serial sections, stain the last slide for bugs) and oven time (60) for 1 hr.
     then put slides in refrigerator for future use.
2)  Cut (serial sections, stain the last slide for bugs) NO oven time  and put slides
     directly in refrigerator for future use.
3)  Cut "fresh" every time they order the Ab.

Thank you,
Cindy

Cynthia, best practice is to keep in the block and cut as needed. Second is to cut and dry at room temp and not melt, then store. Don't cut, melt and store. The issue is oxidation. Keeping in paraffin prevents oxidation. You'll protect the antigens better if they  are fully isolated from air, which paraffin does, but once cut, they are exposed. That happens in the fridge as well and I'm not sure refrigeration helps much. I'm guessing that you don't do a lot of these, so you don't want to cut a lot of slide and have them sitting around for months waiting for use.

I just feel if you didn't care for the subject/blog (doesn't pertain to you, you don't have any exposure to it etc. ) you could have deleted it without being so mean spirited.  I have in the past ignored the mean spirited sparring, but this was a bit much.
Whatever happened to kindness?
Just my two cents....

Another personal e-mail from you that is unwanted. I am feeling like I have my own stalker. You are one of the reasons that individuals will not post or comment, personal and ugly. I cannot imagine why your workplace (LUMC.edu) chose you to represent them. I request that you no longer contact me and make personal attacks. I know nothing of you and you certainly do not know anything about me. If you have something to say, post to the listserve, not me.

As I see it, the best solution is "1"Even more: if the piece of tissue is large enough,?cut 1 section and stain ? select at least 2 (+) areas? divide the block into 2 blocks each containing one of those 2 areas?and?by doing so?you would have duplicated the number of possible (+) sections.Ren?

My vendor (Cell Marque/Sigma Aldrich) has a YEAR backorder on this IHC RTU. Does anyone have a vendor they purchase from that I can research? Thanks so much.

We are still having issues with our PAS stain on decaled bone marrows.  The Pathologists in HemePath are seeing what they refer to as smudginess in cells on some areas of the completed PAS slides.  We have looked at everything and cannot find where the issue is coming from at this point.  We have done manual staining for PAS, automated on the Leica stainer and on the Dako Artisan.  All methods show the same result for some slides.  We can go for several days to a week or more with no problem and then suddenly it is back and we have changed nothing in the way we do the processing, embedding, sectioning, deparaffinization and coverslipping.  We do as many as 38 bone marrow cores a night or as few as 8 and can find no correlation in the number we have to deal with for a given period.  All bone marrows drawn today must be completed by 8AM tomorrow morning.

Fixation after pulling the bone marrows is a minimum of 2 hours in AZF with a maximum of 7 hours +/-.

Grossed and placed in cassettes for 15 minute rinse in running DI Water

Decal currently in the Milestone Decal Unit for 45 minutes in Immunocal at 50C

Rinsed in running DI water for 15 minutes

Placed in 10% NBF and processed on a 4 hour program with a delay of 4 hours minimum to come off at 4:45AM.

If anyone knows of any literature on decal effects on PAS staining in bone marrows please contact me.  This has been going on for months and no matter what we do manual staining, Leica adaptation for automated or Dako it is not helping.  Dako has been great with sending in technical experts repeatedly and we cannot get this corrected.

Thanks,
Pam
