[Histonet] Embedding Work Sheets

Kopczynski, Charlotte Charlotte.Kopczynski <@t> baycare.org
Wed Jun 28 13:10:12 CDT 2006


We currently use Cerner Millennium and after the cases have been
accessioned, we print a Grossing Worklist which has several lines between
cases.  This is used at the Grossing Bench where Block/pieces and any
special instructions are written manually.  Then the Processing tasks are
entered into Cerner which has a field for pieces for each processing task
(H&E Block).  After all the grossing info has been entered, an embedding
worklist is printed along with slide labels.  The person embedding, checks
the worklist and initials each case.  If any discrepancies occur, the
embedder follows up with the Pathologist or PA.  When the slides are
stained, coverslipped and labeled, the blocks are checked against the slides
and the worklist is initialed before delivery to the pathologist. 

Thanks,

Hi there.  I have done HIER (citrate buffer, pH 6) on DAB-stained mouse
placentae and it works great.

Hello. I am working on a double stain, in which my first round of developing
I use Vector Blue.
I then do a HIER and proceed....
The Vector Blue stains beautifully and it remains the same even after going
through heat induced antigen retrieval.
Can anyone tell me if there are other visualizations systems, besides Vector
Blue, that can withstand going through HIER?

Thank you

The question of who is allowed to gross what surgical pathology specimens 
seems to keep coming up. Right now the regulatory agencies seem to be
leaning 
toward making the pathologist do it all.

In contrast, nobody seems to be interested in the embedder - who in effect 
re-grosses small biopsy specimens. When I was a resident (around 1970) we
used 
to fill out a sheet - listing the number of biopsy specimens for example -
that 
the embedder consulted while embedding. I've worked in maybe forty surgical 
pathology services since then (as a locum tenens pathologist, mostly) and I 
don't think I've ever seen an embedding sheet again.

It's quite disconcerting when the endoscopist describes three specimens, I 
receive two, and the next day there's only one piece of tissue on the slide.

It seems to me that the College of American Pathologists (CAP) should make
it 
a Phase II (immediate remediation required) to embed small specimens without

an embedding sheet. 

Cowpath, Tantrum, and other surgical pathology data bases should be able to 
generate a compact case list that the count of specimens could be
handwritten 
onto - Cowpath at least requires that a compact specimen log be handwritten.

And pathology residents should be required to come in during the wee hours 
and learn how to embed!

Well said. We would pass on that requirement as we do still count pieces -
written on the requisition for the transcriptionist to put in the gross
template, and transferred to the Triple G system for the embedders. If we
don't have the correct number of pieces, it is brought to the attention of
the pathologist.

Tom,

    For over two years now, we have had "R2D2" sitting on the floor of
our lab so it can circulate the air while removing the wonderful
perfumes that histology is well known for.  The comments/complaints have
decreased so much that other departments are clamoring for our $1500.00
solution. Additional filters are $449 each.  We got this through
ml-MarketLab JL9390 for the Air Filtration System with Filter.
Replacement Filter is JL9266. 
www.MarketLabInc.com or 1.800.237.3604.  Now, we very rarely have a
complaint from someone about the odors; so that says it is working well.
We leave it on 24/7 at the medium setting.  The high setting stirs up
too much dust for me allergies.

Dr. R,
you bring up an excellent point. We have one pathologist that refuses to cut

shave bxs, vas deferens, fallopian tubes, temporal arteries and other small 
specimens. I have instructed my embedders that they have to cut these 
specimens for proper orientation. Is this considered grossing?
    As far as grossing sheets, every lab that I have worked in, plus the lab

that I started, always had a grossing sheet. It's almost mal-practice not 
to. How could you tell if a specimen has special instructions or not such as

a renal bx?
    Just my 3 cents worth.

I am having problems with IHC staining with macrophage-markers in 
formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) mouse arotic root sections. F4/80 
(Serotec) works well in spleen (after proteinase K digestion) but is 
inconsistent in aortas. I have also tried CD68 clone FA11 (Serotec) with 
proteinase K digestion and HIER (citrate, borate, Tris-HCl)  with no 
success. Any tips?

Hi Does anyone have any experience/Protocols for ICC staining with
Anti-Glycine Transporter 1 on rat Brain/Liver

This is a new one for me and have been asked if I can try to get a method
working pretty quickly, so if anyone has any experience they could share I
would be really grateful.

Thanks

Susan

Hello, and thanks to all for their input on the PASCAL pressure cooker.  

Another IHC question.  We use the Dako Autostainer Plus and occassionaly
have areas on the slides that don't seem to stain.   We are careful not to
let the slides dry out.  Do Autostainers have a problem distributing
reagents evenly?

Thanks,

They should not but if you are diluting concentrated Abs you should remember
to add Tween 20 to assure even distribution.

Has anyone had any problems with Davidson's fixative interfering with
their IHC staining?  We have not run any comparison studies, but, one of
our pathologists heard "whispers" of this amongst fellow pathologists at
another facility!!  Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!!

We use the Promega Dead End kit and it works great; however when we do a
TUNEL assay, we also run pHistone IHC.

What counterstain do you use?  Hematoxylin will clumb and clog the probe
causing uneven staining.

We have a TBS Shurwave 1200 and we are trying to process fatty skin
specimens.
Does anybody have a sample program for microwave processing fatty skin
specimens?  We are also looking at microwave processing all types of
specimens.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.
