Subject: Re: [Histonet] Improved Eosin

John,
I have a Johns Hopkins eosin recipe, it is as follows:

Ingredients:
Eosin Y  18gms
Phloxine B  7.5gms
Biebrich Scarlet  1.5gms
Distilled Water  2850 ml
Absolute Alcohol  750 ml

Procedure:
1: Dissolve all the dyes in the distilled water.
2: Add the absolute alcohol and continue stirring for at least 1
   hour.
This will make up a volume of 3610 ml, I add about two or three drops of

glacial acetic acid to a 500 ml volume before staining tissue (this 
enhances the stain), you may not like the intensity but you can omit the

acetic acid if you like.  I hope this is helpful to you.

I was wondering if someone out there can give me a recommendation for a
lab which can provide good quality sections of implanted stents.
Specifically, we have been told the FDA likes the thick saw cut, ground
and polished sections rather than microtomed sections.  

Thanks Gordon Grant

Hi,
   I'm hoping someone can help me.  I was wondering what the appropriate
starting wage of a grossing tech would be for a private path lab which
works mainly on small skin, gyn, and oral specimens and processes about
250 cases a day (between 2 grossers).  Would the pay be any different if
the employee had an M.S.  The position is entry-level.  Thanks very
much.

My lab does stents as well in Houston! We work with Texas Heart
Institute in conjunction with other companies on a regular basis. We do
thick saw cut ground and polished sections. Hope this helps! If you have
any further questions feel free to contact me.

<p>Hi,
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm hoping someone can help me.&nbsp; I was wondering
what the appropriate <br>starting wage of a grossing tech would be for a
private path lab which <br>works mainly on small skin, gyn, and oral
specimens and processes about <br>250 cases a day (between 2
grossers).&nbsp; Would the pay be any different if <br>the employee had
an M.S.&nbsp; The position is entry-level.&nbsp; Thanks very <br>much.

Our disposal company requires us to empty the formalin from all the
containers.   We then collect the formalin and it is also taken away for
disposal.    I'm wondering what neutralizers anyone is using for
formalin so
we could dispose of it down the drain??

Subject: [Histonet] disposal of tissue


How do labs dispose of pathological waste when incineration is not
available on site.  Do you have to empty each individual 90 ml container
or will companies take them away with the fluid still in them?  I
realize most larger containers are drained and the containers recycled
but was curious to see what is done with the smaller containers.  How
long are the containers retained and is this process done by lab staff
in the histology department. Diana McCaig, R.T.

We neutralize our formalin with Sakura's Tissue-Tek

We have a hazardous waste company that comes out and dumps all of our =
specimens for us.  He separates the formalin from the specimens in our =
Morgue and takes both for disposal.  He has all of the proper PPE, =
including a respirator.  It is expensive, but I feel it is worth every =
penny.  The time it takes to do the job and the cost of the neutralizer
= is expensive, too.  If ventilation is not adequate and the formalin =
exposure is too high for the employees to perform this procedure safely,
= they would have to wear a respirator, and this requires formal =
respirator training and fitting.

I know there is another company here in southern California that takes =
all of the specimens with the formalin still on them.  I don't know if =
they separate them out later or just burn everything.

Hi. I was wondering if there's a lab(s) out there that can do immunos
for our lab. We just need help with MMP-2 and MMP-9, I got everything
else to work except for these two and I'm getting frustrated. So if
anyone knows of a place that provides that, I'd be very grateful if I
can get some information on how to get a hold of those people. Thank you
for your time.

Julian,
Do you need an instrument for making the recipient block? If so most
labs use the Beecher Arrayer.

We market the Paraffin Tape-Transfer system that many labs find very
valuable for cutting the section of cores and placing them on a slide.
The tape-transfer method eliminates the water bath where cores often are
lost.

Please visit our web site for details www.instrumedics.com . If you need
any further information please contact us.

Eileen,
The problem with using the "home" vacuum for cleaning a cryostat is that
the debris collected melts and clogs the vacuum bag causing the
suctioning  to fail.

We designed the Cryo-Vac-Away to avoid the clogging problem. The debris
that is suctioned as it is generated at the block face is collected in a
cold filter that is INSIDE the cryostat. The debris freeze dries and
becomes very porous so that the vacuum continues to function
effectively. We also have a viral/bacterial filter downstream of the
primary filter that will capture pathogens so that the air that exits
the system is free of toxins.

Answer to question 2: Why would it not be OK to use alcoholic formalin
since both, as separate solutions, are used in the majority of tissue
processing schedules? We use alcoholic formalin on our VIP.

Hi Everyone,
I have a few questions,
1. Is anyone using a "home" type vacuum for the cryostat. Of course the
bags would go in the medical waste. 2. Is Alcoholic formalin OK to put
on the VIP tissue processor, there is no acetic acid in the solution.
 
I appreciate all your help.

Hello Histonetters,
I am trying to distinguish immature monocytes from immature granulocytes

in Balb/c mice. Can anyone suggest antibodies for FACS or 
immunohistochemistry or RT-PCR markers that would help in this? 
Suggestions on other methods would be welcome too.
Thanks in advance,
