There is a new question on the CAP checklist:
ANP.11713 - Phase II
"Is there documented evidence of daily review of technical quality of
histologic preparations by the pathologist?"
Our present procedure is the supervisor/technologist documents daily
review, but it is very clear that CAP is requiring the pathologist
to initial a document daily proving they have reviewed the technical
quality of slides.
How are other hospitals satisfying this requirement? It seems crazy to
make a pathologist initial a document daily,
when it is evident they review hundreds of slides a day, and they would
certainly report a problem to the supervisor when the stain is
unacceptable.

I have been out of the loop with Her- 2 for a while, and the last I
knew, it was left up to the individual labs to establish standards among
the interpreting physicians for interpretation, pretty much based on
the original Herceptest guidelines. Have any other standards been
established? If so, would someone please provide me with a reference?

We send out a QC sheet daily with slides for the day. The docs sign
off on this sheet noting the quality of the slides and return it to our
lab. On the sheet it is just a matter of them checking off the slide
review and if they are acceptable or not.

AW I just love you guys!
Everyone has good points and I appreciate Mike's input.
The thing is I still don't have a supervisor and
I'll be very sad to leave my cushy IHC queendom to go do it myself.
Let's be done with this and move on.

Dear Histos,
Due to the hazards of working with 3,3' diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride
(DAB) for muscle enzyme staining, I am considering purchasing DAB as either
5mg, or 10mg tablets. Some companies have them dissolve in water and others
in a buffer solution.
I am looking for input from anyone who has used these tablets. Do you like
them, do they work well, staining results, which company, etc.... I know
that you can also get DAB in sealed separate vials, but it is much more
expensive and we are in an academic research setting where cost is a
consideration.
I am particularly interested in using them in the Cytochrome Oxidase stain.
I have tried many procedures for this stain and my Dr. is not all that
pleased with the results. If anyone has a good procedure for this stain, I
would be grateful if you would send me a copy.
I am revamping this lab and have had a lot of questions for the histonet that
you have been very helpful in addressing.
Thanks for all the suggestions in advance.

In our lab (IHC & ISH), every case that goes out to the pathologist is
accompanied by the original request form that has a "QA" form on the
back. The pathologist is obligated to select "satisfactory" or
"unsatisfactory" in response to the statement: "I have reviewed the
patient and positive/negative control slides associated with the
immunostains requested on this case and find them
satisfactory/unsatisfactory" and initial his/her response.

I created a database that we enter our daily count (the date, first and
last case number, the number of blocks and slides). Also there are 2
prompts to be checked by the pathologist, one for H & E and the other
for cytology stain. We run a control as the first and last slide
everyday. If the stain is ok he puts a check in both boxes, if there is
a problem there is a spot to enter comments. I started doing it this
way so that if there is a problem with the stain I can easily go back
and see what cases it affected. I have a report that I can print to
show the quality of stain if an inspector request it. Previously we had
a sheet the pathologist kept at his desk and check each day if the stain
was ok and make comments if not.
I also use the spot for comments to document if we have changed
something (trying a different stain, new paraffin, added time to a step
on the processor or stainer, etc). So if there are questions or we need
to compare slides (because of a new product or new procedure) I have a
report that I run and I can easily pull the slides.
I also use this database to enter all statistical information. So at
any time I can give the pathologist or manager any number for anatomic
pathology.

I too am in academic labs so relate to the cost
concern; however, I strongly recommend DAB in
liquid kit form - either DAB+ from DAKO or from
Zymed. They are liquid ready to use concentrates
diluted into buffer either supplied with the kit
or you provide yourself.
I have used both for years and years now with
excellent results. Worth the extra bucks (about
80-100 dollars for 110 mls which is actually
quite a lot) for consistent results time after
time after time - without the hazards of working
with powder or solids.
Good luck!

Diana, yes the standard is the Herceptest guideline, as far as I know. I
haven't looked at some of the more recent FDA approved tests.
I highly recommend correlating your scores with Her2 FISH results. Also, if
you have >1 pathologist, the pathologists should periodically review cases
together so that their eyes stay "calibrated" to the same level of
staining/scoring.

We have been using Novocastra's p16 antibody (distributed by Vision
BioSystems here in the USA). I have been told that their antibody is
back-ordered. I know DAKO sells a p16 kit, but I'm only interested in
getting the antibody. Are there any other sources for p16 that work in
formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues? Thank you.

Hello all -
Has anyone had experience with contaminated alcohols coming off a
Tissue-Tek VIP processor?
We have two processors - one is a Miles VIP 3000, purchased in 1993, the
other is a Sakura VIP E300 purchased in 1996.
We have started experiencing the problem on both machines.
Our processing schedule utilizes 2 stations each of formalin, 80% ETOH,
recycled 95% ETOH, absolute ETOH (pure, not reagent grade), xylene, 3 or 4
paraffin stations, 1 cleaning xylene, 1 cleaning absolute ETOH.
The formalins and 80% are not contaminated, however the 95% and absolutes
show cloudiness when flushed with water down the drain. (We are assuming
that it's xylene causing this, but have not done analysis to confirm.)
Preventative maintenance was just done last week on both machines (by our
in-house biomed personnel) and we still have the cloudiness in the 95% and
absolute alcohols.
We have ruled out any problems with our recycler and know that the alcohols
are clean when they are put on the processor.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

I totally agree with Andrea. Another superb two part DAB substrate kit is
Pierce DAB (brown) $65 for 250 ml kit or Pierce CN/DAB (black) $78 for 250
ml kit, and you can make up as much or little as you want for number of
slides in a run.
Acadamic labs often get discounted pricing and free shipping other than
hazardous material costs, this can be purchased through Fisher and probably
VWR too.

Dear Histos,
Due to the hazards of working with 3,3' diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride
(DAB) for muscle enzyme staining, I am considering purchasing DAB as either
5mg, or 10mg tablets. Some companies have them dissolve in water and others
in a buffer solution.
I am looking for input from anyone who has used these tablets. Do you like
them, do they work well, staining results, which company, etc.... I know
that you can also get DAB in sealed separate vials, but it is much more
expensive and we are in an academic research setting where cost is a
consideration.
I am particularly interested in using them in the Cytochrome Oxidase stain.
I have tried many procedures for this stain and my Dr. is not all that
pleased with the results. If anyone has a good procedure for this stain, I
would be grateful if you would send me a copy.
I am revamping this lab and have had a lot of questions for the histonet that
you have been very helpful in addressing.
Thanks for all the suggestions in advance.

I had the same problem and worked with my sales rep. I was finally told
that what I was reporting was impossible. When it was verified by
equipment repair, my rep told me that the bottom line was that Sakura
sold me a tissue processor and it did process tissue. They made no
promise that I would be able to recycle the reagents so the matter was
closed. Needless to say, I replaced the VIP with a TBS unit and now
have no problem recycling my alcohol.

Subject: [Histonet] Contaminated Alcohols from VIP processors
Hello all -
Has anyone had experience with contaminated alcohols coming off a
Tissue-Tek VIP processor?
We have two processors - one is a Miles VIP 3000, purchased in 1993, the
other is a Sakura VIP E300 purchased in 1996.
We have started experiencing the problem on both machines.
Our processing schedule utilizes 2 stations each of formalin, 80% ETOH,
recycled 95% ETOH, absolute ETOH (pure, not reagent grade), xylene, 3 or
4
paraffin stations, 1 cleaning xylene, 1 cleaning absolute ETOH.
The formalins and 80% are not contaminated, however the 95% and
absolutes
show cloudiness when flushed with water down the drain. (We are assuming
that it's xylene causing this, but have not done analysis to confirm.)
Preventative maintenance was just done last week on both machines (by
our
in-house biomed personnel) and we still have the cloudiness in the 95%
and
absolute alcohols.
We have ruled out any problems with our recycler and know that the
alcohols
are clean when they are put on the processor.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Previously, either myself of the lead tech for the day would examine a
control slide- a tonsil or fallopian tube from the day's workload, to
document proper staining and processing. To comply with this standard during
our December survey, we created a daily form (yet another) distributed to
whichever of our three pathologists is signing out that day. Any
deficiencies or problems in a specific slide including staining issues,
folds, wrinkles, or scratches, incomplete sections, misoriented tissues,
floaters or contaminants, bubbles under the coverslip, mislabeling are
listed by the docs. The histotech involved must address the problem and
document what was done to remedy the situation. This provides a tool for
continuing quality improvement so trends can be identified and individuals
with chronic problems can be retrained/counseled.

I have noticed the same thing, and I don't think the cloudiness is due to
xylene. I believe it is due to water-insoluble substances, particularly
lipids, which have leached out of the tissue samples into the stronger
alcohols. Because these substances are water-insoluble they don't tend to
dissolve in the formalin or the weaker alcohols where a lot of water is
present, but they do dissolve somewhat in the stronger alcohols. Also,
because they are water-insoluble, they precipitate (become cloudy) when
water is added to the alcohol, as in flushing down the drain.
Because I'm in a service research lab, I often run one kind of tissue per
processing run, and sometimes only one kind of tissue for several days. I
have noticed that the degree of cloudiness relates not only to the number of
specimens I have run since the last solvent change, but also very much to
the kind of tissues that were processed. I can run kidney or lung or
muscle specimens all week and there is minimal cloudiness when I discard the
alcohols. But if I process a large number of skin or breast or colon or
other fatty samples, the alcohol turns milky white when it hits the water.

I experienced this problem before and discovered the 95% ETOH was the culprit ( the 100%s could be white due to the 95% carried over into them). The company is going to deny this of course, but our supplier later came back to say there was a manufacturing problem that was not picked up on in their QC. Try another brand before you do anything, or call your supplier to ask if there are any other reported problems. -Janet
