[Histonet] Question: Inventory

Mon Dec 5 10:58:40 CST 2005

I am replying to this just to let people know how easily things can be
misinterpreted. I take responsibility for my statements and apologize
for any misinformation I have given.

The original question was "For those of you who are in high volume labs
using ventana stainers, do you register all your reagents when they
arrive? or do you register as you use?"

My reply was "not do high volume consistently but have some weeks where
I am doing 200-300 stains per week. I do not register my reagents as the
come into the lab."

What I should have said is that I do not register my Ventana Reagents on
my Ventana Nexus Stainer as they arrive in the lab. I do register my
Ventana Reagents on my Ventana Nexus as I am going to use them. 

The response to me was "If you are GLP or ISO complaint (even not
registered) you must keep inventory records and record which reagents
are used for making solutions.  It is a pain and they think this will
insure we do not use any expired or improper materials."

I feel that someone thinks I do not follow "Good Laboratory Practice" 

This is a trivial point but I think it is interesting to note how
different people respond to statements made not only here but
everywhere. I feel it a wonder that I am understood at all.

Perhaps I need to slow down and respond more carefully. Some people make
very good precise statements and I will try and follow suit.

Hi Cynthia,

If you are GLP or ISO complaint (even not registered) you must keep 
inventory records and record which reagents are used for making 
solutions.  It is a pain and they think this will insure we do not use
any 
expired or improper materials.
