We use Mounting Medium (MM) 24 from Surgipath on our automated coverslipper and for hand coverslipping. It works great.

We are being buried in slides.  We are currently using Cytoseal 60 from Richard Alan as a coverslipping media but it takes a long time for it to dry.  Does anyone knkow of a coverslipping media that would allow us to file our slides within a couple of days without them sticking together?

Thanks!

I am trying to find a procedure for staining fresh muscle tissue for crystal violet to demonstrate amyloid.

Does anyone have a protocol they could send me?

Thank you.

Hello All,

I wanted to know what variation of the alcian blue/PAS stain that you like best. We are going to start doing this stain instead of the alcian blue that we do now. The texts that I use (Carson, Bancroft, AFIP) all have diffrent variations. I just wanted some imput on what is best.


Thank you

Dear All,
Any feedback appreciated.

I've always used Cresyl Violet Echt, and now I've just switched to
Cresyl Violet acetate. Does anyone know if I could treat these two the
same way? I've been using 5g of the cresyl in 1000ml of dH2O. Does
anyone work with this Nissl body stain and if so what protocol do you
use?

Thank you.

Good evening,

I'm looking for some volunteers to give us some input on billing features
that you absolutely love or would love to have in your system.  Basically,
we're enhancing the billing aspect of our AP system and we'd like to get as
many opinions as possible.  Of course, we've already started with our
current clients, but we'd like to expand our horizons.

So, if you don't mind sharing some of the best parts, worst parts, or even
fantasies, I'd appreciate it.

To start with, our overall objective is to make billing as automatic as
possible.  Why we involve our technologists or pathologists in billing has
always been beyond me.  Your jobs should be to focus on performing the task
as hand, and to me, at least, that's not about billing.

...though I know we have to bill to stay in existence.

I appreciate whatever you can give me.

We are trying to section pieces of horse femurs, fetlock and carpal  joints.  
They have been decalcified with either HCl decal or formic acid  decal.  
Before routine processing the bones appear to be decalcified, but  at sectioning 
they are very hard and brittle (even after surface decal) and chip  out of the 
paraffin block.
Any suggestions would be helpful.  A pathologist suggested a soap  soaking 
solution but could not remember the name of the soap.
 
Help and thank you,

Hello All,

We've been using Factor XIII, A-subunit polyclonal antibody from Calbiochem
(Cat.No.233498) on skin conditions successfully so far.

However this antibody was discontinued few years ago and they are offering
Factor XIII, S-subunit only. Although I haven't tried FXIII S-unit
immunostaining on human skin, I tried two other monoclonal Factor XIIIa but
the stains were not as good as our current one.

I tried Neomaker and Novocastra's. Can anyone suggest the source of good
FXIIIa please? Thank you.

If you like, I can come and clean the lenses, at a modest price (say
10c/hr) plus travelling.
My microscope lenses always look worse after I clean them, so I should
have the same success with your camera lenses.
By the way, I live in Sydney, Australia!!

But seriously, what a dumb move, to install cameras without
consultation!!

I would use immersion oil on the camera lenses.

Subject: [Histonet] Factor XIIIa antibody


Hello All,

We've been using Factor XIII, A-subunit polyclonal antibody from
Calbiochem
(Cat.No.233498) on skin conditions successfully so far.

However this antibody was discontinued few years ago and they are
offering Factor XIII, S-subunit only. Although I haven't tried FXIII
S-unit immunostaining on human skin, I tried two other monoclonal Factor
XIIIa but the stains were not as good as our current one.

I tried Neomaker and Novocastra's. Can anyone suggest the source of good
FXIIIa please? Thank you.

Some things to think about....

Rinse the tissue well with running tap water after decal and before
processing - this seems to make  a difference (depends on the size of the
bone - 2hrs to overnight)

EMbed the bones so that the long axis is either at right angles or 45
degrees to the blade so that the edge of the knife doesn't have to cut
through a narrow band of cortical bone along its entire length - this causes
"skipping"(If this is unclear I can send you an attachment with a diagramme)

Once you have faced the blocks put the face down on ice in a -20 deg freezer
overnight (chest type freezer). then remove the one ata time for sectioning.

I have only had limited sucess with soaking the  faced blocks in fabric
softener undiluted.

Hopes this helps

best regards

For tough or brittle, but not necessarily calcified tissue, I find that 
soaking the block on a water soaked tissue for 10-15 minutes effective for 
softening.  It can sometimes take all day to get a section, as trimming 
sometimes has to be done 4-5 microns at a time!!

you more about it if you desire.
