[Histonet] What's mellitin?

I never heard of mellitin. If you mean melanin, there is a bleach
method to remove it and compare to unbleached h&e slides and there is a
Fontana Masson which is a melanin silver stain.

I hope this email finds everyone well,

I have the opportunity to do some redesigning of our laboratory space. 
I would like some feedback from some of the larger labs as to whether
they have a separate room for their tissue processors and/or flammable
storage.  If so, how is it separate from the main laboratory working
space...wall, door, both?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

This is exactly what I did when I designed our new facilities.  I built
a
flame-resistant room which is well-ventilated directly to the outside. 
The
ventilation unit is adjustable for varying amounts of cubic feet per
minute
air exchange.  This unit is always on.  There is a special cabinet for
flammable chemicals, acid-resistant bench tops for the tissue
processors and
multiple, adjustable shelves for slide drying in this room.  The solid
wood
passage door is always closed.  I also built a fume hood directly on
the
other side of one of these walls and placed a blower unit (from an
old,
charcoal bench-top fume hood) through the wall.  This is where we
coverslip.
When the blower is on, it sucks away all of the xylene-laden air into
the
vented room which, in turn, is vented directly to the outside.  There
is
never any xylene fumes in the lab.  On our main homepage, there's a
link to
photos of our new lab.  Here, you will see the ventilated room as well
as
the coverslipping fume hood on the other side of the ventilated room.

Hi Jan:

Currently we have a separate room containing our tissue processors and
embedding centers.  We also have a large flammable storage cabinet in
this room.  We have a separate room with our alcohol/solvent recycler
and there is a large flammable storage cabinet in there as well.  We
have 2 smaller flammable cabinets in routine lab space as well.

We are moving into a brand-new lab building this fall.  In the new lab
we also will have separate rooms; one for the processors and embedding
cetners and another for recycling.  I do not think there is flammable
storage in the new processing room (it's pretty small) but there is in
the recycling room.  I believe there will be at least one under-counter
flammable storage in a main lab space as well.

Hello,

Is there any - strict - histochemical method to caracterise mellitin 
(meaning not an immunohistochemical method) ?

Regards,

Florent.
