[Histonet] RE: Biocare IHC instrument

I was very impressed with the Biocare instrument.  It is called the Intellipath. Open system (my favorite feature), continuous feed up to 10 slides per load, able to run 5 protocols simultaneously for a total of 50 slides running simultaneously- can't remember how many protocols it can store.  Definitely worth a look.

I just did an IQ, OQ, PQ on my process.  The OQ on the microtome involved using a dial micrometer.  Set the thickness at 5 microns.  Tare or zero the dial micrometer on a point on your sample holder.  Pull the micrometer point back, turn the wheel X number of times and take your new reading.  It should add up to X times 5 microns +/- your tolerances.  The rest of the "validation" process depends on it being installed properly and that it actually cuts sections suitable for pathologic interpretation.  As we all know, just because the dial on the microtome says 5, doesn't mean the section is 5 microns.    The point of the Operation Qualification is only to demonstrate that the machine works like it's supposed to.  The dial micrometer needs to be calibrated/traceable.  I got a guy in town to do it for $20.  Of course everything needs to be documented and QA should sign off on it. Hope it helps.

If your relative humidity is less than zero, you're probably putting too much thiotimoline in your water bath!

In the summertime ours is at around 60-70%, which seems to work well. In the winter time it is less than 0 and I run a humidifier full out to try to achieve 20%. It is definitely easier in the summer.

Julie,

I can't offer you any references, but here's something to consider.  A cool mist humidifier in your lab.  We are in Bend, OR., on the dry side of the Cascades.  Running the humidifier reduces static and makes sectioning a bit easier.  No hard science with this, just a little more atmospheric moisture.
By the way, the humidifier I bought is a big blue and white penguin.
The mist streams out the beak.  Just looking at it makes you smile.  I bought it at Target for ~ $40.00 - it works for us.
Have a good weekend.

Folks,

We just moved to a new lab space in a new building. We are currently running at 45% or lower humidity. I am working with our facilities on raising the level but I am looking for some references for what level we should aim for in regard to paraffin cutting. Does anyone have some ideas or places to look for information?

Thanks!!

Hello,

We will be purchasing another microtome and I wanted to get feedback from the list.? If you wouldn't mind giving me your thoughts on the microtome you like the best.? We are not getting an automated one, not in our budget, but a simple, ever-lasting one.? We have the Leica 2135 and 2125 and sometimes the blade holder gives us problems, but I'm sure they all do.? Actually, we do have a Microm 330 and that one hasn't given us any problems at all.
I just would like to know the one that gets a lot of positive feedback.

Thanks so much in advance,

Greetings Netters,
For those of you that remember the old metal cassette holders. It seems that they are no longer available (no surprise), and I cant find anything like them on the market. They were sold by tissue-tek I think. They are about 4 inches square and one inch tall. They have 5 rows that hold 3 cassettes each for a total of 15 cassettes. We are looking for more of these, if anyone has some they are no longer using please contact me.
Many Thanks,

This happens to be my favorite of all the newer instruments. If it  
does everything proposed-wow, what a time saver it would be. To be  
able to load it without the other program being finished. DAKO tried  
an instrument like this a couple of years ago but it bombed. I would  
set yourself up for a demo. Once they are released they are going to  
go quick- we are getting 4 of them throughout our system.

Greetings all,

 

I'm wondering whether there are any recommendations for how to
effectively cryosection dorsal mouse skin for immunohistochemistry. I'm
having difficulty with much of the mouse skin slipping off the slide
during the fixation and washing steps, which seems to result in loss of
the epidermis in particular, that part of the tissue that I happen to be
interested in. I apply the dorsal mouse skin cryosections onto
SuperFrost Plus (Menzel-Glaser) slides and air dry them for 2 hours. I
use acetone for fixation, 10 minutes, and use PBS for washing. Any
suggestions?

Does anyone have a Blind Case review Policy they could share with me? This is where when there is only one Pathologist and he does not have another pathologist to do peer review,In a one Pathologist lab. 

Is anyone else doing this?

Thank you.

Marsha Price

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for but it is the one that I
am familiar with that is still being manufactured.

Subject: [Histonet] Cassette Holders

Greetings Netters,
For those of you that remember the old metal cassette holders. It seems that
they are no longer available (no surprise), and I cant find anything like
them on the market. They were sold by tissue-tek I think. They are about 4
inches square and one inch tall. They have 5 rows that hold 3 cassettes each
for a total of 15 cassettes. We are looking for more of these, if anyone has
some they are no longer using please contact me.
Many Thanks,
Jennifer Sauners HT (ASCP)

Good day to Everyone and for those that attended the NSH, WELCOME  BACK.
I would hope that the parties were good and I am truly sorry that I had
to miss all of them.

I have a friend who asked me to post this for him. Any answer or
suggestion would be appreciated.

Thank  you
Dusko Trajkovic


I'm asking because in a paper I'm reviewing a paper where someone is
using 
a concentration of 45-60% Acetic acid to fix isolated nuclei, then
fixing again with Carnoy's, and then doing FISH (fluorescence in situ
hyb) on them.
I'm trying to figure out the effects on chromatin...does it cause the 
nuclei and/or chromatin to swell?

I'd appreciate if you could ask around.

Thanks,
Yun

Yes, the immediate effect of acetic is nuclear swelling.

 Does anyone have a policy for a Blind Case Review for a one pathologist private lab?

Thank you.

We have to let our retic slides dry for 1 hour at 72C. We use superfrost
plus slides otherwise we have variable staining or no staining.
