Our Lab archives blocks and slides at Iron Mountain.
We keep them forever as we are in the process of making a synoptic database for a cancer registry.
Most states require a 10 year hold period, but, that also depends on the state.
10 years is a good span as it rules out many legal possibilities.

Are there any suggestions to help keep prostate core biopsies on the plus slides when doing PIN-4 IHC. I use the Biocare de-cloaker and their BORG retrieval solution and Nemesis autostainer. I have been having a tough time with sections falling away after retrieval. I air dry them overnight and incubate in a 60 degree oven for 1 hour prior to de-wax and staining. What to do??

I would like to know how many of you are keeping your "household"
microwaves? I do a couple of special stains that we heat up the
solutions. We don't do any processing with it. Those of you that are
keeping them, what are you doing to avoid the ding? Or are you just
taking your chances? Which do you recommend for a "lab" microwave?
Thanks

I posted yesterday asking if anyone would share their protocols/manuals
regarding disposal of blocks/tissues.
For clarification, this is not because I need info to write a manual. Our
state does not have any clear guidelines, and a USDA official is trying to
get an idea of "what other labs do" to help certify a new lab in our
state.
Can you share with me how your lab disposes of blocks and tissues? What
logs or records are kept?

Hi,
I am looking for a book or information booklet pertaining strictly to
fluorescent staining.
Something on the order of Dako' s immunohistochemical staining book or
C.M. vander Loos's multiple staining book.
Even a web page reference would be helpful.
I know Galye Callis is giving a workshop this summer in New Mexico,
unfortunately I can not attend.
Hopefully she will be giving this workshop in Pittsburg.
Any information that you can provide me will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Folks,
I have an old but good Microm/Hacker HMP300 tissue processor which is
refusing to behave at the moment.
When trying to run it fails at diagnostic #3, A more detailed check reveals
the problem to be a "Station valve driver fail off" error for station 14
(the xylene cleaning step). I have obtained and replaced the valve to no
effect, I swapped the electrical connections between station 14 and 15 (I
still get the same error for station 14) and am at the end of my patience
with the wee beastie.
I have the following questions:
1. What is causing the problem?
2. How do I fix it?
3. Is there anyone out there who remembers these machines and can fix
the problem? I am located just North of Seattle.
4. Failing that, does anyone have a service manual and/or parts I can
borrow or buy?
Thanks in advance for your help

Check your processing protocol. Maybe they are treated too long in dehydrant/clearant. How do they section, brittle? If that is the case it is an indicaiton of a too prolonged processing protocol.

After dewaxing the slides and taking down to water
try 10 minutes in 10%NBF, rinse well before retrieval.

Hi Folks- could anyone with experience with either of the following two microscope cameras weigh-in on their merits or drawbacks? We are planning on projecting the feed onto a screen in our anatomy and physiology and lab techniques classes.
Thanks in advance for your input!

Someone suggested the possibility of using MMA as an
embedding medium instead of celloidin for rapid Golgi.
How is it made soft enough for cutting with a microtome?
Anyone have experience with this, or have a protocol for
doing this?
Any thoughts or comments? I have looked at the Neil Hand
papers, but they don't seen to exactly apply to what I want
to do. I am looking to do thick sections so as to see full
dendritic arborization.

This may sound kind of stupid, but I always thought it might be
because more mounting media was needed when coverslipping. A lab down
the hall used the same protocol as ours and always had air bubbles
after a week. They only used two drops of media for coverslipping,
but we use four to five.

Hello,
We have been using Gills III, as of recently approx 1 month, to do

significantly. We rec'd it in 6/07 and opened it in 9/07. Could it be
too old? I tried filtering it, but still stringy. I also, turned up
the water to help rinse it, but I don't want to take a chance on losing

Hi - everyone we have just moved from routine processing in a VIP 1000
to a Thermo-Shandon Excelsior. This has been working perfectly except
when processing lung, especially spongy lung. When embedding after
processing wax infiltration appears to be patchy, bubbles come out of
the tissue when pressing the tissue into a mould, after trimming there
are "holes" in the tissue, and sections often crumble because of lack of
wax support. We have vacuumn on everything from first alcohol onwards.
Anyone got any suggestions as to why this is happening? We used to use
Thermo-Shandon Hypercenter XP's and had the same problem with lung, is
it a Thermo thing?

Opening a hematoxylin 3 months after receiving it cannot be the cause UNLESS it has an expiration date within that period, or is close to expiring (lets say before 2008).

You hit "the nail in the head". It is "vacuum thing", I don't know if it is a "Thermo thing".
Check their operating manual and find out the vacuum level (mm of Hg) and compare with what the VIP 1000 used to have. If the vacuum is higher in the VIP 1000, that is your answer, if it is the same, then it has to be a "Thermo thing".
