We run 6 stains in our standard batch (H&E, Trich, Dual Myosin, SDH, NADH, COX/SDH, MHC-1) and have a menu of 10 extra special stains and 10 immuno stains we can do once the slides are cut.

In this example, I am curious as to how to deal with the idea that we actually have two different reports. The report to the wrong patient which, presumably, went into their file and the report to the proper patient. If the amended report corrects the data to the proper patient, how will a copy find it's way to the original patient's file to cancel it? It would seem that the original report would need to be amended to say disregard -- with the original patient identification and an entirely new report made with the new demographics to go to the proper patient. Would this second report even qualify as amended since it's the first one for that patient? To further complicate the scenario, the original report may have gone to a clinician who is not authorized to see the results on the proper patient. Sending them an amended report which identifies the proper patient might constitute a HIPAA violation.

I've seen a number of smudge marks and have asked the grossing doctor to avoid touching the requisition form but she says that is unavoidable. I've asked her to change out gloves, but she says that is not practical. In the meantime, if billing or lab personnel sees this, they will put on gloves and insert the paperwork inside a protective sleeve cover. But, what are the types of things the grossing doctor can do to avoid this transfer besides changing out gloves or avoiding touching the paperwork?

I'm working with a company who is developing a new tissue processor which basically cuts processing time in half. We've run a number of parallel tests to demonstrate the results are equal to the traditional methods we've been using forever but now we need some tumors too. We've run the normal H&E, special stains and a large number of IHC, what's missing is the molecular tests at this point. We have a few tumors but we are looking for more to provide a large enough data pool for the entities we present to. With that, I'm hoping someone might be able to assist us with tumors, when the tumor is large enough that not all is necessary for diagnosis. We have a proprietary fixative that we would send to ensure that the tissue is not in formalin for an extended period of time. Also, some of you have experience with stuff like this... our pathologists do as well but I'm curious whom some of you would recommend submitting this data too when it's complete and if you know a pathologist who might be interested in participating in the review of the slides?

I am not very excited about UV light as a disinfectant for paper. If the paper is dirty, it's dirty. Incineration is a great disinfectant method.

Just think of squeezing a chunk of lemon over your helping of haddock and drool into a small beaker. Remove bubbles by wiping the surface of the collected liquid with the edge of a piece of filter paper. Incubate for 30 minutes at 37C, just the same as for 0.1% malt diastase.
