[Histonet] certification

[Clarke, Mary]

I have student that has completed her two years of on the job training and is now ready to get certified.  Unfortunately she has missed the cut off for taking the test, now that ASCP has changed the ways of taking the test.  Does any one know of any ways that she can get certified.  We would also be interested in any online courses.

Thanks

I don't think you use the ThinPrep vial, I believe you use the one that is a
preservative and lyses red blood cells, is it Cytolyse? It's in the manual.
If you use the ThinPrep vial then you have problems with rbc's which become
fixed.

When someone asks if a product exists, a discreet advertisement, such as
Christof Krug's, is an appropriate response.  In the case of a new product,
it is the only possible response.

Hi Yan
 
I have developed an automatic image analysis software (www.cvistec.com
<http://www.cvistec.com/> ) for complex biomedical images. It is best suited
for high throughput, high content image analysis and tissue microarrays.
Customized measurement solutions for your specific images can be add. If you
are interested, please get in touch with me.

Gayle,
    We purchase the industrial sharpie from Office Depot.  We only use them
on the cassettes, not slides.  We haven't had the problem of anyone grabbing
the wrong pen, but we keep them in a separate place -  pencil holder or
drawer - depending on the area.  We also use a cassette printer from TBS so
we don't have to use the pen all of the time.
     For slides we use the Statmark because the industrial sharpie has been
known to come off - for example, when we circle slides to indicate where we
put the gelblock section, and it is put through the stainer and the Statmark
pen has survived. Same story with labeling the slides - the industrial
sharpie faded.  Let me know if you need the Statmark information-   Janet

Dear Janet,

Thank you for info about Industrial Sharpie ink staying on in 
solvents.  Where are you purchasing these special Sharpies?  Staples, or 
some other vendor?

I was worried that someone inadvertently grabs a run of the mill, everyday 
Sharpie marker used for labeling bottles, tape, and label their tissue 
cassettes or slides!  We have had this happen with disasterous results when 
a whole project's labeling is dissolved away because the unaware used the 
wrong Sharpie marker.

I plan to give the industrial Sharpies a try though.

I wonder if it has something with the cassette manufacturer - maybe there is
a coating - like oil? We use Sakura/Allegiance/Cardinal (whatever they're
called now) with the industrial pen.

We have been able to use a sharpie industrial pen with Sakura, Ted Pella
and SurgiPath cassettes.  We don't use it on slides because it fades
just enough to passably cause problems.

Hello, all,
 
I am doing immunofluorescence in paraffin sections. I have some difficulties in it:
1: For pretreatment of tissue sections, I plan to incubate sections with trypsin solution, but I do not know :what kind of concentration should I choose ? (0.01% trypsin, 0.05% or o.1%)how long does it should last? (10min,20min,30 min)
2: Recently, I read a protocol about double immunofluorescence, it shows :Antibodies derived from different animal can be mixed and incubated as a cocktail (example: rabbit anti-A and mouse anti-B). The same is valid for secondary antibodies (example: goat anti-rabbit Texas Red conjugated and goat anti-mouse fluorescein conjugated). but If secondary antibodies cross-react, what should I do? My friend told me that I could use depletion method. but I am not sure.
 
Can anybody do me a favor?
Thank you!
 
Guofeng

Tim,

The only mouse histology book I know of that has color photos is 
Histological Atlas of the Laboratory Mouse, Gude, Cosgrove and 
Hirsch.  1982,  ISBN 0-306-40686-1, and probably long out of print (and 
should be returned to the fold!)  The photos are marginal at times (low 
power) or not the best quality,  but it is better than nothing at all.

There is another atlas, A colour atlas of Anatomy of Small Laboratory 
Animals, Volume 2: rat, Mouse Hamster Popesko, Rajtova and Horak from 
SaundersISBN 0 7020 2703 0, Reprint 2002.  This is pricey and will NOT have 
photos for what you are looking for - everything is in diagram form and 
more for locating organs, structures, etc.

There are websites with some photographs but you have to do some searching 
on line.

Otherwise, there really is not much out there in terms of this species nor 
even a rat.

Good luck on finding the first book.

Hello,
1.  I have no experience of using fluoresence BUT the pretreatments that you use to reveal antigens should be analagous to other detection systems.   SINCE IT IS THE ANTIGENS THAT ARE IMPORTANT.
So IF trypsin is the business then around 0.05% in 0.1% Calcium Chloride, for say ten minutes woks for various antigens by immunoperoxidase methods.     If the fluoresence is a sensitive as one imagines then times and concentrations may be shorter.
   The time that is best is what you find works best rather than what I say.  What about other pretreatments? 
2. Can not help here

Subject: [Histonet] Immunofluorescence in paraffin sections


Hello, all,
 
I am doing immunofluorescence in paraffin sections. I have some difficulties in it:
1: For pretreatment of tissue sections, I plan to incubate sections with trypsin solution, but I do not know :what kind of concentration should I choose ? (0.01% trypsin, 0.05% or o.1%)how long does it should last? (10min,20min,30 min)
2: Recently, I read a protocol about double immunofluorescence, it shows :Antibodies derived from different animal can be mixed and incubated as a cocktail (example: rabbit anti-A and mouse anti-B). The same is valid for secondary antibodies (example: goat anti-rabbit Texas Red conjugated and goat anti-mouse fluorescein conjugated). but If secondary antibodies cross-react, what should I do? My friend told me that I could use depletion method. but I am not sure.
 
Can anybody do me a favor?
Thank you!
 
Guofeng

Goat is not the only host for seconday antibodies.  You could use Donkey 
antimouse - FITC.   Try Jackson Immunoreasearch for other antibodies that 
will NOT cross react. Jackson has a website.

	As many of you, I have worked several lifetimes in histology
including using bare hands to lift specimens out of formalin.  However, I
began wearing gloves in the early 1970's because I developed sensitivity to
the formalin--fingers being numb, stinging sensations, etc.  In these later
years, I notice sensitivity to xylene--yes, it is slow going doing
coverslipping with gloves when need to do hand 'slipping.    I wear gloves
for embedding because there is still some carryover of the xylene in the
paraffins, even in the #3 paraffin.  As we have become more educated about
our hazardous, we know that xylene travels through our fatty tissue and
lodges in the liver where it remains..  Nitrile gloves also resist xylene
longer than latex.  I don't wear gloves when microtoming paraffin sections
unless it is for RNAse studies--then it is a requirement to keep my RNAse
from contaminating the study material.  I do wear gloves while using the
cryostat.
	I had not noticed anyone mentioning sensitivity problems to the
chemicals or the possible health hazards to us with absorbing the chemicals
through our skin.  We have plenty of people telling us about the smell of
chemicals when they come by and that tends to be addressed more quickly.
