We do this for one of our hospitals.  We do charge the patient / insurance for a "Gross Only" on the placentas we accession as a gross only specimen.  
   
  We were told that since the child  and / or parents can sue the hospital up to 20 years later for any perceived problems that may have arisen out of the pregnancy or labor, this was to cover the hospital legally.
   
  The only hassle we have with this is how to store all the blocks we are producing.

I have a protocol from a paper that I need to try and reproduce. They used
the Protein Block from Dako, along with the LSAB+ kit. The Block seems to no
longer be available. What would be an alternative? Is this the same as the
serum block I would normally use?

Renee,

I doubt it, sometimes protein blocks are serum-free blocks, and may contain 
BSA and/or casein.  I would assume another company's block should do the 
job as well.  Try Lab Vision, Biocare, etc to see what they have available.

Hi All,

Does anyone have a procedure for calibrating timers? We just had an inspection and got cited because our timers were not calibrated.  Any info would be appreciated!

First I wish to thank everyone for helping me
with my species antibody problems.

My question is for all of you other Vet School
and Vet clinic people.
Do you have problems finding certain types of
antibodies that will react on certain species, if
so what antibody and which species?

I am trying to compile a list of the most needed
antibodies that we need on the animal side of
things.
 
I do again wish to thank all who sent me help, I
have been burning up the Internet looking up all
the information sent my way.  And trying to dodge
my Pathologist and all his questions! (He knows
all my hiding places ;(, bummer!).

Try any local watch repair store. They have to calibrate their repaired watches so it is very likely they can help you.

Hi Everyone.  Thanks Gail for remembering my small article in Histo-Logic
about 5 years ago!

The procedure is very simple and the least harsh of any method I know. I did
not develop it, but one of my former students brought it back from NSH and
we used it with great success.

First, melt the block down and blot off the excess paraffin from the tissue.


Second, re-cassette the tissue in the same cassette, blotting excess
paraffin from the cassette.


Third, put the cassette in with the days normal tissue processing run, in
formalin.


Fourth, process as usual.

The next morning, embed and cut. The fat (or under processed tissue will cut
beautifully.

The rational is that the well processed part of the block will have paraffin
in it and will not feel the effects of dehydration. Xylene will melt out the
paraffin and then paraffin will re-infiltrate this part.

The unprocessed tissue areas are available to fix additionally and
dehydrate, clear and infiltrate with paraffin. 

The net result is a reprocessed block with no harsh treatment and very
little time expended to 'reprocess' by hand. It does take overnight to get
the slides, but usually the pathologist will be happy to see slides he can
read accurately.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck!

   Melissa,

   We  used  the  Abcam mouse antibody, clone 236A/E7 we great success on
   both  human  cryo  and  FFPE samples, and also in double staining with
   CD25,  CD4 (cryo).  For  more  details  please  see our paper recently
   accepted for JHC: Onno J. de Boer et al., Immunohistochemical Analysis
   of  Regulatory T Cell Markers FOXP3 and GITR on CD4^+CD25^+ T Cells in

   Hi all,
   Anyone have any experience with this? How well does the Abcam antibody
   work on FFPE human tissues? What's a good positive control?

   Dear Sally,

   Last  year  I  tried  an antibody from Cedarlane Leishmania LPG, clone
   CA7AE (1:500,  60  min,  RT).  I  could make it work with HIER citrate
   pH6.0 and indirect  fluorescence on FFPE samples. Spectral imaging was
   used for  unmixing  "real"  signal from autofluorescence. Even then it
   was  hard  to  find  the specific signal, due to some specific-looking
   nuclear  background  staining.  The  tissue samples that were positive
   with  fluorescence were also subjected to IHC with anti-mouse polymers
   and DAB or LPR as chromogens. This totally failed and we gave up.

   I realize it's not a very hopeful story but perhaps it helps anyway.

  It would be better for you to look in the archieves and benefit from that discussion.

I'm sorry
am I the only one that thinks calibrating timers is stupid. I mean how many 
histology procedures are so time sensitive that the timers have to be 
calibrated? Let's face it. I have had techs sit there and watch the clock 
and rinse as soon as the timer goes off. And I've had techs wait for the 
timer to go off , then mosey over and rinse.  Both stains worked. I guess 
I'm just not anal enough.

I'm sorry
am I the only one that thinks calibrating timers is stupid. I mean how many 
histology procedures are so time sensitive that the timers have to be 
calibrated? Let's face it. I have had techs sit there and watch the clock 
and rinse as soon as the timer goes off. And I've had techs wait for the 
timer to go off , then mosey over and rinse.  Both stains worked. I guess 
I'm just not anal enough.

Dear all,

I would like to perform Alizarin Red staining for mineralization nodules in primary osteoblasts, Does anyone have a protocol about it?
In addition, for mineralization nodule formation, we should add ascorbic acid and beta-glycerolphosphate into the culture medium, my question is :  use which solution to dissovle these drugs (distilled water, or culture medium).

Thank you.

Calibration  of  timers  is  essential, as  one  of  the  least  publicised consequences of  global  warming  is  that  time  is  speeding  up  by about  a  second  a  year( Wells  et  al;Journal of  Man  and  Time Vol 6, 211-221, 2008).

Dako's protein block is serum free and from what I understand is just
casein, no bsa.  I use serum free protein block from Open Biosystems, I also
use their Stable Dab, Antibody Diluent, hematoxylin CS, etc., they are a lot
cheaper from most and I like their products.

Renee,

I doubt it, sometimes protein blocks are serum-free blocks, and may contain 
BSA and/or casein.  I would assume another company's block should do the 
job as well.  Try Lab Vision, Biocare, etc to see what they have available.

If we are going to ask if our timers are calibrated in the Histology Lab, then one could ask the question: "Do you calibrate the timers on your various automated instruments such as processors, stainers, cryostats, and the list could go on?  I don't feel that 1 second a year is going to make a difference in my calibrated-timed tissue being processed or my H&E stains. If time does matter that precisely to you, then you most likely have a system in place for calibrating your timers.

I am doing a search for information regarding Histologists who perform grossing in and dictation of surgical specimens.  We have, in the past couple of years, begun to do that at our facility and are trying to get an idea of the increase of pay for histologist that doing this job warrants.  Can anyone out there give me some pay ranges, etc. for Histologists who perform these tasks.  Thanks so much.

Joe,

You are talking fundamental philosophical differences here.
The inspectors are obviously Newtonian realists, while you're leaning more 
to the Leibnitz/Kant view.
They are going to win!

This is going to depend on the degree of grossing the tech does.  If
they only put GI type bx's in or if they do the entire gross-in of
specimens to the degree a PA or Resident does.  You may get a wide range
of pay.

I am doing a search for information regarding Histologists who perform
grossing in and dictation of surgical specimens.  We have, in the past
couple of years, begun to do that at our facility and are trying to get
an idea of the increase of pay for histologist that doing this job
warrants.  Can anyone out there give me some pay ranges, etc. for
Histologists who perform these tasks.  Thanks so much. Lisa Kennedy,
HT(ASCP) Good Samaritan Hospital Kearney, NE  68847
