I agree with Richard-----it would be nice to know when you order a product
that it is being discontinued. I trialed several PTH antibodies and I ended
up liking the Novocastra PTH NCL-PTH-488 - it is research use
only-------couldn't find a source for IVD PTH. Hope this helps!

Dako is switching over to a new business system. So you are going to have
some trouble. Supposedly, they were going to be able to take calls as of
yesterday.
We placed an order at the end of March, and our supplies just arrived today.
Good luck.

Dako has discontinued the CD61 (Dako M0753) antibody that we have been
using for years and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good CD61 that
I could try as a replacement? I have tried the Ventana CD61 (Y2/51) and
Cell Marque CD61 (2f2) and they are not as good as our old antibody from
Dako.

We use the Cell Marque CD61 (clone 2f2) via Ventana, and it seems to
work well for us with mild CC1 on our VMS instruments.

Hi! All,
Thank-you for the responses regarding the thermometer's. Are any of you working with the Thin-prep and preparing cytology blocks upon completing the slide preparation?
My question is how we prepare the cell blocks. Any information is greatly appreciated. We are a new lab, and this is the first time I have'nt made my own smears etc.
Thank-you

Hello,
I have found a reference for staining fat with sudan red 7B, it calls for a "saturated" solution of sudan red 7B in 70% ethanol. Does anyone know what the saturation point of sudan red 7B is in 70% ethanol; a general guide would be very helpful!
Also - has anyone used this procedure before and what were the results compared to a regular Oil Red O (both in isopropanol and/or propylene glycol).
Thanks in advance,
Kim

We are also having a major problem getting through to Dako. We were
told a couple of our items are on backorder for a few weeks. I am
planning to call our account rep and voice my displeasure. It would
have been nice to have received some communication regarding this
"changeover" and perhaps we could have upped our order before all hell
broke loose.

Thanks Elizabeth and Gayle for the tendon info. I've done the longer
soaking which does help quite a bit. I've got big hunky horse pieces. My
question today: After the slide has dried all night on the warming tray I
still see white tissue, definitely not as opaque as I'd like. Any
suggestions on making sure the tissue doesn't fall off? I'm just the cutter
so I don't know what IHC is going to be done. Could I put them in the oven
60o? What's wrong with melting the paraffin?
Stacy, can I put them in the oven?
Thanks,
Mary Lou Norman

I don't have an exact figure, but according to one of my older texts
(Histopathologic Technic and Practical Histochemistry by Lillie and
Fullmer), 4.25 grams Sudan Red 7B will dissolve in 100 ml absolute ethanol.
So the solubility in 70% ethanol should be substantially less than that.

Histonet:
I have tissues(monkey brain) that were fixed(4%Paraformaldehyde),
cryprotected(20% sucrose), and flash froze(-70C isopentane). Unfortunately,
mothernature(hurricane katrina) came threw and destroyed everything. This
tissues sat for 3-4 months at blistering temps in the same position(melted OCT)
& some even had a surprise for me(fungus). When the University let us come back
into our building, I rinsed off OCT and put the tissues in 10%NBF at room temp.
The tissue was immersed for 3-4months in fixative. I rinsed the tissue and once
again, flash froze one of the sections, and they cut horribly. I don't know
what to do. I am now tempting to paraffin process. I prefer to do frozens
because its easier to get almost every section of tissue(one sections I usually
get 500-700 slides). As most of you know, brain likes to explode in water, so I
can do a better job if they are frozen.
Any help, I would appreciate!

Subject: [Histonet] re-freezing frozen sections
Histonet:
I have tissues(monkey brain) that were fixed(4%Paraformaldehyde),
cryprotected(20% sucrose), and flash froze(-70C isopentane).
Unfortunately,
mothernature(hurricane katrina) came threw and destroyed everything.
This
tissues sat for 3-4 months at blistering temps in the same
position(melted OCT)
& some even had a surprise for me(fungus). When the University let us
come back
into our building, I rinsed off OCT and put the tissues in 10%NBF at
room temp.
The tissue was immersed for 3-4months in fixative. I rinsed the tissue
and once
again, flash froze one of the sections, and they cut horribly. I don't
know
what to do. I am now tempting to paraffin process. I prefer to do
frozens
because its easier to get almost every section of tissue(one sections I
usually
get 500-700 slides). As most of you know, brain likes to explode in
water, so I
can do a better job if they are frozen.
Any help, I would appreciate!

We had the RHS I in our lab for a couple of days to test it out. It performed well. The PA's didn't change how they grossed the tissue. This was a big plus. No need for special tools and tiny sized tissues. You can program it to the largest size specimen being processed. Our lab is looking into getting at least one of the small units and we may go for the new Pathos they just came out with. The Pathos is larger and automatically changes the solutions. No need for manually changing them like you do with the RHS I. Now if we can just convince the top brass to give us the money for one of them.

Hello Histonetters,
Im new here, not sure whether or no my problem
appropriate for the list topic.
I have treated low electric current on grafted plants.
Then, they were sectioned, prepared and photographed
either light or electron microscope.
I need to show them to an expert on plant histology
who can interpret the pictures in order to decide what
(sub)celullar changes appeared before/after electric
current applied.
Can some please one help me ?
Best regards
- Emre

Another day has gone by with the machine alarming over the weekend and nobody knew until it was too late. Does anyone know about the remote alarms for both of these types of processors? Do I need 2 separate ones or can biomed hook up 1 remote to 2 machines? Where can I find this product? Save a histotech from another Manic Monday! Thanks

Jessica,
You may need two boxes, depending on how the instruments signal they are in an alarm state. In many cases, they simply short together their output wires, in some, they send out 5VDC. We have a VIP E-150 with a home-brewed alarm box that works well. Your local biomed should be able to cook one up if he has the electrical diagrams for the units. It ain't rocket science! Good luck.

I have asked Mike Gallo to give you a call in regards to your alarm for the
Leica processor. However, your biomedical engineers should be able to wire
the alarm for you.
If you have questions just give me a call.

Marian you can join the NSH IHC Resource Group online at www.ihcrg.org
We have a list of references and you can actually access the ws on taking
the QIHC exam presented by myself and Ethel Macrea at the NSH S/C last year.
