[Histonet] Formaline free fixative

Dear Bob,
I know indeed quite a number of glyoxal based fixatives. Many labs have
tested them over here. Products were FineFix, GlyoFix, amongst others.
However, most of time morphology results were OK but IHC was bad. It looks
like glyoxal tends to fix too much.
As for MSDS, yes, they are required as well in France and I have noticed
that allowed ppm in lab air is even less that with formalin !
Do you have yourself any experience with glyoxal based fixative ?
Best regards
Pierre

Hello All,
I would like to get your suggestions for a processing schedule for small
biopsies (cores, GI's, other endoscopics). I want to process these little
guys separate from everything else to hopefully improve section quality and
perhaps staining quality.
I don't want the absolute shortest possible schedule. We have a newer
VIP5 for our main processor (doing everything on one schedule currently) and
a much older VIP sitting idle as a backup that I plan to start using for the
biopsies. We process overnight so I have more than enough time.
I will just delay the biopsy processing so that both processors are finished
at essentially the same time.
What I need is a shorter schedule for the biopsies so that the detrimental
affects of xylene and alcohol are minimized (and yes, we still use xylene!
And in case it matters schedule-wise, we use 10% NBFS as well).
Thanks in advance.

Pierre Chaumat (where are you, Pierre?) asks:
>>Has anyone tested alternative solution to formaline fixation ? Has
>>anyone
switched to a new tissue fixative ? - I would like to share some
experience.<<
About the only alternative "fixative" that actually is a fixative is
glyoxal, available under numerous trade names. Its fixative properties are
somewhat different from those of formaldehyde. In particular, immunostains
may require adjustment, and comparison with formaldehyde fixed tissue from
the same case. In the USA, the breast cancer immunostains are required by
the federal govenrment to be done on formaldehyde fixed tissue.
Do not use any trade-named fixative whose composition is secret.
Sometimes fairly adequate information can be obtained from the Materials
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), in the USA. Does France require similar
documentation of hazardous materials? If so, what is this document called,
and what is a good Web site to look some of them up?
(I can read French.)

Hi ,
What are you using to replace B5 fixative with mercury? I want the best for
hematopoetic tissues, and for immunostains.

>From my experience in processing, the most important thing is to maintain
dehydration time to clearing time to infiltration time in constant
proportions once you find a good protocol.
If you "long" protocol works well for you, reduce the time in each step in
a way that at the end will be completed in the time you need, BUT preserving
the time proportions you have now.

We currently are using the 1A6 clone for our progesterone receptor(PR) IHC.
We were wondering how other people felt about rabbit monoclonal PR
antibodies.
Does anyone have strong preferences or experiences with other PR
clones-mouse or rabbit-that they'd like to share?
Thank you...!

You need to explain your problem more clearly. Please include

What tissue are you staining? How was it fixed? Are you staining dewaxed

Which haemalum & eosin method did you use? Does your lab have a book with
instructions for H&E staining? If not, why not?
Are the "faint stained spots on sections" blue, purple, pink or red? Where

Hello,
Can anyone give me some suggestions on my case? I know a lot of people
here have a lot of dual staining experiences. I did dual staining on 2
antibodies from different species in the past. They worked well. But using 2
antibodies from same species is my first time try and I met a big problem.
Any suggestions I will be very appreciate.

Dear Toxicology <dis.tox <@t> suven.com>
You need to explain your problem more clearly. Please include
histonet <@t> lists.utsouthwestern.edu in your replies. We all want to share
our knowledge.
What tissue are you staining? How was it fixed? Are you staining
dewaxed and hydrated paraffin sections? Cryostat sections?
Which haemalum & eosin method did you use? Does your lab have a book
with instructions for H&E staining? If not, why not?
Are the "faint stained spots on sections" blue, purple, pink or red?
Where are these spots?

We currently are using the 1A6 clone for our progesterone receptor(PR)
IHC.
We were wondering how other people felt about rabbit monoclonal PR
antibodies.
Does anyone have strong preferences or experiences with other PR
clones-mouse or rabbit-that
they'd like to share?
Thank you...!

Looking at T-regulatory cells, huh? Are you trying to stain both in the
same color? I know Foxp3 is nuclear and CD4 is on the cell membrane,
but two colors might be better. Your protocol looks incomplete.

Why not just use 10% NBF? It's great if you allow enough time for
fixation. Make sure your bone marrows are fixed well BEFORE
decalcifying and you should have no problems.

Hi, Mark,
Yes, I am looking at T-regulatory cells of mouse. For CD4, I
used AF594(red color), for FOXP3 I used AF488(green color). The
problem for me is for the second primary antibody(or maybe I
should say for the secondary color) of dual staining, it never
worked. I do not know which serum I should use to block the
non-specific staining of the secondary antibody. If you think my
protocol is imcomplete, could give me some suggestions? Many
thanks,
Ann
