Their stain solution was 1% alcian blue in 4% acetic acid, pH 2.6. Use only alcian blue powder from a batch certified (or recertified) by the Biological Stain Commission less than 5 years ago. This is one of the very few dyes that can deteriorate in the solid state. The chemical identities of dyes sold as "alcian blue" are variable; none are the original CI 74240, Ingrain blue 1.

Now, with little warning, our source (Polyscientific) for these reagents/stains has been sold. The new company (StatLab) does not label the reagents with the chemical makeup, example: "0.1% Nuclear Red Solution", they just have "Nuclear Red Stain" which may be 3% or 5%, certainly not what we have procedures/protocols for. If you use premade special stain solutions, who is your favorite source? Do you only purchase in kit form? Or do you have the capacity to purchase single bottles of solutions? Do they have the percentages listed? Signed: Confused scientist. Terri L.

I have always been an advocate of more time spent... meaningfully ( in-out of the dayjob) In my younger professional days.....I was criticised for proposing changes to techniques to minimise time spent on techniques eg: the Achest enzyme histochemical method for Hirschprung's disease ( use an antibody instead!); using DPX instead of Canada balsam (the de facto standard, then....) Who uses DPX nowadays???.....chuckle I disagree with you re " valuable time" Having spent many years as a Lab Manager....I know that there is always downtime This should be used to enhance technical know-how....eg: what is in the solutions/why do they work? For eg: it takes ~ 60 mins to make up Masson's reagents from basics These will last FAR longer than buying in expensive, low volume commercial preps Ditto Haemalum solutions...why use Gill's/Erlich's/Mayer's ?? We are teckies.....not RTU people? NB1: yep....places for RTU reagents NB2: it is interesting that Light sheet confocal microscopy for antibody use ....uses pretty much OLD techniques to "clear" the tissue Sure, different reagents but.....still a painfully LONG process?

I wish for you all a Holiday Season full of peace, serenity, and blessings. I am not familiar with the 3D HISTOTECH P1000 Slide Scanner brand. Has anyone heard or dealt with this slide scanner? We have a few pathologists who read slides remotely 90% of the time and we are having scanning issues daily with/ partial or NO scanning of slides. This as you known, impacts Turn Around Time. We switched from a glass coverslipper to a film coverslipper due to chipped glass as well as excessive mounting media. We also addressed specks of paraffin on top of slides after QC?ing slides to blocks. We still continue to have issues. Any impute would be appreciated.

For as long as I can remember, I just naturally assumed to be able to pass a CAP inspection, the supervisor had to be HT ASCP Certified. I ask because I recently came across two labs here in California who?s supervisors are not certified. I looked up the CAP guidelines and they addressed testing personneL, (pathologists) but couldn?t find information for the supervisor.
