[Histonet] Nuclear fast red

I agree with Geoff re NFRed staining solution.
I have always had good results with home-made NFRed, if only for 2/4 months.
Much cheaper too.
Sure, try Neutral red: differentiate in water until you like the contrast then, blot dry your section and immerse in Xylene after a time that you think has made that section dry....then mount in DPX, for eg

You do not  give any details re your Preps: So.....
Could be cells/sections
Could be fixation problems
Could be technical errors.
Could be old solution of NFR
?

We have a policy that state what items can and cannot be tubed and
tissue specimens are one that we do not allow to be tubed.

Hi Histonetters:  I was hoping someone could share a
simple plant tissue (green stem and buds) processing
program with me.  I have never done plant histology,
but would like to earn some extra credit for a
horticulture class I'm taking.  Thanks,

First of all, there is no apostrophe in Mohs. Sorry, being picky is a necessity for a Mohs tech.  How are you mounting your tissue?  Are you using a glass slide to mount the tissue?  There are several different method out there for mounting tissue so you can be sure the entire epidermis is completely down and air bubbles are out of the tissue.  You might have your surgeon contact the Mohs College and see about getting a trainer to come and work with you.  With your background, the 2 days the College suggests would work great. The other alternative is to go and visit a trainer.  If you go onto the website www.mohscollege.org you can find a list of Mohs histotech trainers.

We let unfixed specimen for frozens send through the tube. And also specimen
in formalin with tight caps and small enough for the tube. The container are
packed in extra bags and with blister-plastic.

We do not tube any tissue samples, fresh or fixed, and yes, we do have a tube station available to us.

Potential contamination of the tube system from a leaking specimen container is one legitimate concern but we also have some here worried that a fresh specimen might enter the tube system never to be seen again. I'm not sure how realistic that fear is with modern systems that track each transaction however I'm reluctant to find out the hard way. Emotions aside, as a matter of policy we do not tube any tissues.

Ever since a leaky container and a biohazard bag opened in the tube
containing bile- No Way. They had to shut the system down to clean it. And
it went across the street and up 3 floors! University of Chicago has a
dumbwaiter that sends samples from surgery to the gross room. Nifty!!!

No, the patient tissue is too precious to "loose" should the tube get stuck, and the legal implications are well.....
   Nor do you want a hazardous fluid such as Formalin to spill within the tube system.
            So we just don't.  We have couriers to go among the departments or our staff will do the pick-up.
    The tube system is great for paper items, addressograph labels, or if a floor/department needs a form.

We have ordered Nuclear Fast Red from both EMS and Sigma and neither one
of them seem to work very well.  Both appear to have very weak staining.
Is there someone out there in Histoland that could lead us to Nuclear
Fast Red that actually works?  Thanks is advance for all of your

Hi Sharon:

This is a common complaint with this stain. Some (not me) have had good
results with "Brizillant" from Anatech.

We have ordered Nuclear Fast Red from both EMS and Sigma and neither one
of them seem to work very well.  Both appear to have very weak staining.
Is there someone out there in Histoland that could lead us to Nuclear
Fast Red that actually works?  Thanks is advance for all of your

I bought my nuclear fast red from Aldrich 15 years ago.  Kernechtrot (nuclear fast red with an aluminum mordant) solutions made from it still work well and still last about a year.

Dear Histoneters,

We have recently experienced some troubles in carrying out routine
immuno against nuclear fos protein (unexpected weak signal). We have
troubleshooted all what was possible to troubleshoot (use of 3 different
primary antibodies batches, two secondary ab, new buffers, change the
revelation kit etc.). Immunos directed against other epitopes (eg
amyloid-beta) give satisfactory results but the IHC in trouble, that
targets intranuclear epitopes, is still defective. I suspect now that
the non-ionic surfactant we are using (Triton x-100) could have been
degraded by high temperatures we had for several weeks in the lab (due
to a central heating problem in our building). I made some temp.
measurements in the reactives cupboard (around 35-40?C). Does anyone
have any information on Triton x-100 stability? According to
manufacturers' recommendations, the product should be stored at RT but I
did not succeed to get more precise information.
I thank you in advance for all comments, suggestions and alternatives.

B. Delatour

Hi Louise:  There are two companies that I know of that sell those Microscope Slide viewing and storage sheets.  They are Ted Pella Catalog #2111-10 and ProSciTech catalog # H172 they are in Australia.  Ted Pella also has the binder to keep them in.  I think that ProSciTech does also.
