[Histonet] Liver (control tissue for PAS/D)

[Kemlo Rogerson]

I know this might be a stupid reply but as it's just for PAS/D can't you
use animal liver? Why not pig's liver? Go to an slaughter house and get
fresh pig's liver and bingo (I assume pig glycogen is the same as
our's?)....... You could fry the residual with onions, very nice.

Subject: [Histonet] Liver (control tissue for PAS/D)

Hi again. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good source for liver
tissue for PAS/D control blocks. I am currently having to buy them and
it is ~42.00 for 10 slides. I am hoping to find a better price than that
as my doctor orders a fair amount of these. I don't have access to
autopsy tissue and when I did there was a problem with autolysis. I work
in a derm lab so I am limited. I have asked several of my former
employers and so far no luck. Any help acquiring the tissue or just
telling me about a better price with a different vendor would be great.
I will be totally out of tissue within ~2 weeks (if I am lucky to have
it last that long).
 
Thanks and everyone have a great day. Thanks to everyone for info for
manuals. I am so glad I signed up for the histonet.
