Msg 20: H&E question (crochieresteve <@t> aol.com)
Did you try a 2 minute soak of slides in 250mL 1xPBS + 1mL 100% Conc.
HCl after your Hematoxylin stain? Then run the slides gently under
slowly running H20 (can be dDH20 or tap) for one minute and continue on
with dehydrating and staining.

Hi Jackie:
A few weeks will be OK. I would leave them in fix rather than 70%
ethanol. I'm sure someone will sell you vast quantities of 4% PFA if you
ask and have $$.

Trinity,
Are you using a Lab Vision stainer? If so I am always having this
problem, even I programmed 3-drop zones with 200ul of reagent dropping
in each zone, for a total of 600ul per slide just to be sure that slide
fully covered. We invited their tech several times. He checked run,
clean and still sometimes I still have this kind of Staining Variations.
I never had this problem before when used DAKO stainer.
Please, let me know when and how did you fixed your problems.
Good luck,
Naira

Dear All,
I would very much appreciate some help from someone who is doing/has
done some immunostaining of FFPE mouse tissues with an antibody against
VEGF Receptor 1/Flt-1. We are currently having difficulties believing
the staining we are getting with the protocols we have tried.
The antibody we have is Santa Cruz Flt-1 c-17 (sc-316).
I would be grateful for any help.
Thanks

Hi
I wonder if anyone out there is using RECA-1 on FFPE tissue using a

I am using it on rat heart. I can get it working on light but am
battling to get a signal on IF.
I would really appreciate it if anyone out there has managed to get
this working for IF and could email me their protocol.
Many thanks

I want to just get verification from the experts. I have an employee in
Cyto
-prep that wants to get into histology. She went to the local collage
got
information on obtaining an Associate in Science Degree. With that and 1
year of practical (OJT) in a histology laexam, correct? I currently have 2 OJT techs I am training but they have
a
BA in the sciences already. I just wanted your opinions before I tell
her to
go ahead and enroll.

Hi Folks,
I will need to use a pH meter in our Chemistry Lab to pH alizarin red.
I would hate to ruin someone else's pH meter! Can anyone tell me if the
repeated use of a pH probe for pH'ing dyes will affect the porosity of
the glass probe or have any other detrimental affects for that matter?
(I would use a pH meter far too infrequently to warrant maintaining one
in my own lab.)
Thanks.
Greg

There is some merit in doing the right thing rather badly,
but absolutely none in doing the wrong thing excellently!

I am having issues with the surgipath 560mx hematoxylin. Goblet cells
and mucin are staining blue. I have lowered the time to 1 min in
Hematoxylin followed by 1 min in define and 1 min in bluing with wash
steps in between, but the sections are still giving an over stained
appearance. Would adding acetic acid to lower the pH help with this or
should I try something different?
