Hello Everybody,

I was wondering what type of institutional support y'all have at your
various institutions.  I work for a research foundation and they want to
drop my salary and have the researchers grants pay my salary and almost
everything else.  I am a fee-for-service lab and the CEO wants to see $25K
in recharges between now and December.

We offer TEM, confocal, histology and cryosectioning.  We will be adding
micro-CT and a deconvolution microscope that does FRET and can handle
samples that have been transfected(?) with viral vectors.

Is she being unrealistic?  I am only 80% time and the only person down here.
Should I start looking for a new position before she shuts me down?  How
many people have had their facilities closed by the people who don't see the
big picture?

Please let me know your experiences.  

Thanks,

Paula  :-}

Hi-

I'm trying to locate embedding molds that Sakura/Tissue Tek makes.  All I'm
able to find at this point are the metal molds with the 'wings' on them.

Does anyone know a source?  With all the mergers etc it's been a little
challenging.

Thanks in advance

Hi All,



Would anyone tell me what their lab procedure is for handling fetal demise
placentas?



In previous jobs sites, the histotech and/or PA would read the requisition
and determine if there may be later DNA testing ordered.



If yes, put in fridge and contact pathologist and/or physician.

If not, place in formalin.



Currently, our PA automatically places every placenta in formalin....

Dear Vikki,
        Sakura still carries the metal base molds that are used with
Embedding Rings. They do not have the "wings" that the ones for use with the
Unicassettes have.  Their Sakura part numbers begin from 4121 and higher.
If you use the electronic catalog on Sakura's website (www.sakuraus.com) and
search by product description, just type in base molds.  Then click on part
# 4121 and the wingless ones will be pictured.

Kind regards,
Nancy Klemme, Sakura Educational Services

Histonetters,

 

We sliced a humerus bone on a band saw which was filled with cement from
a previous surgery and my boss would like me to try to cut it on a
sliding/sledge microtome.  (The knife remains stationary)  Is this
possible to do?  Presently, it is fixing and then I will decal it but
I'm wondering if I'll be wasting my time and effort.  

 

I would appreciate anyone's experience with this.

 

Thank you.

Hi all,

In my H&E staining I always used 1% acid alcohol. (Working with conc. HCl is
not fun!) 

There is the Orth's solution available already made, but it is 3%. Do you
use that? How do you use it?

What do you use in your regulat H&E stain? I am using it on an old Jung
AUTOSTAINER.

Peggy,

 

If the cement you mention is or similar to PMMA, then you will not be able
to cut thin sections using the sliding/sledge microtome. If I was you, I
would not decal it at all as it will only make the bone less dense than the
cement and will definitely waste your time if you embed it in paraffin to
try and cut later. Your best and only chance at success here is to embed
undemineralized in resin and cut thick or ground sections that can be
polished to a desired thickness.

 

If you would like to discuss this further, please give me a call at
317-281-1975.

 

Best,

 

Jack Ratliff

Maria asks about fetal demise placenta:

We gross in all fetal demise placenta (usually four blocks).If the
clinicians desire genetics, they take?samples from the fetus and the
placenta up on the floor. (There is only a three day window for growing
fibroblasts).
The fetus gets a gross only treatment with weight, measurements and a
photograph. If the clinicians or family desire an autopsy, whatever the
gestational age, we have the parents sign an autopsy consent, as if for an
adult.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone stained formalin fixed, paraffin embedded slices with HPGD
(Sigma), PAF acetylhydrolase (Cayman Chemical) or frizzled-4 (Santa Cruz) on
Ventana Discovery, Benchmark or similar autostainer? I would appreciate all
advices related to staining protocols because I4ve quite small amounts of
antibodies.
