FW: [Histonet] Animal IHC workshop at Duke university

Tue Aug 21 11:06:58 CDT 2007

I apologize for not stating my opinion clearly enough yesterday (it was
Monday morning).  I am not commenting on vendors giving courses. We
would loose a lot of training if vendors did not give classes.  I have
helped arrange and advertised on the histonet vender taught classes
myself.  I did not say anything when a histo tech forwarded their
advertisement about the course.  I was not attacking this company. When
I said I did not know this company I meant to say I do not know anyone
from this company.  I do use some of their products; their FC receptor
block has worked extremely well on skin samples when staining for c-kit
and phospho-c-kit in mast cells.

 My opinion is that vendors should not be able to post on the Histonet
directly.  I guess we have set a new precedent, vendors are allowed
direct access to the Histonet, so Dako, Biocare, Ventana, Leica, and all
the other vendors that offer courses should be allowed direct access to
the Histonet.

I will return to being a silent observer on the Histonet and only
responding directly to individuals about questions.  And yes I do know
what the delete button is. Thank you.

Are you kidding me. 
We have come a long way from barring the vendors from doing ws at the
NSH
S/C or anywhere else.  Without the support of our vendors (who by the
way
have some very knowledgeable speakers many of whom came from histology)
the
national and local conferences would not survive.  In the past 10 years
I
have gotten as much or more from vendor sponsored courses as I have
gotten
from non-vendor courses.  I say let them advertise all they want to
offer
FREE educational courses.

I was not going to make a comment as I know Jamie and this is one time I
must
disagree with him.  We have invited Innovex to speak at the Region II
meeting
in Delaware and have had great response to the talk.  I am one of the
people
doing animal IHC and I will admit I need help with some of the areas no
one
addresses with large animals.  No One in the clincal companies offer
enough
help for this area so I for one can hardly wait to go to this workshop
and
get
more information.  I can always tailor it to my needs or know more about
what
to do with some issues. I will still be free to buy from whomever I wish
as
the
class does not commit or any other attedee to the company itself.  I
hope
they
start to annouce here soon and I know it will be in my post to HistoNet
about
the meeting.  Pam Marcum
