Hi,

 

Does anyone have a protocol for plastic embedding that shows in detail
the procedure and equipment needed for this purpose that does not mind
share it? My office email is attached to my signature. Please let me
know since my boss want to start a stent pathology protocls and he
claims that we have the equipment, so first I need a good full blown
descriptive protocol and all the protocols in internet are already
assuming that you have some plastic embedding knowledge and I have never
embed any metal devices. (I need a protocol for microtome, not grinding)

 

Thanks

Hi all,

We do research. We got a hand me down JUNG AUTOSTAINER XL which now does all the H&E and it is a blessing! Now I am thinking about purchasing a second hand Immunostainer to run some immunos, so we can use our time for something better than babysitting the slides. 

There is a very inexpensive JUNG HISTOSTAINER Ig available, but I have no experience in this area. (I couldn't even find a picture of it on the Internet...) For now we only do a TUNEL stain for apoptosis, but the need for more immunos is rising. (Our students use a lot of fluorescent markers if this makes any difference.)

What do you think? Do you recommend it or am I just investing in a pricey incubation chamber? 

I would appreciate any input
Michelle

Dear All
I am trying to detect kinetochore localization of MAD2 induced by a microtubule depolymerizing agent in SW480 human cancer cells. I have used 2 different protocols (-20 oC 100% methanol fixation for 20 minutes or 4% formaldehyde fixation for 20 minutes, both followed by permeabilization with either 0.3% triton/PBS or 100 micog/mL digitonin/PBS) but unfortunately I got negative results. I had success with microtubules immunocytochemical staining using methanol fixation method and I demonstrated the induction of prometaphase arrest by my treament, but it seems that MAD2 immunostaining is not as easy as microtubules. I would greatly appreciate if anyone has an experience in MAD2 immunocytochemical staining provides me with a help.
thanks a lot

resume to Diane.I.Johnson <@t> kp.org or call 619-528-5386. I would appreciate

Does anyone experience chatter they think originates from using recycled
solvents in their tissue processors? We have tried many things to eliminate
the chatter. The latest was removing the three recycled xylenes from the
processor and replacing them with fresh Commercial xylene.  After doing this
the Pathologist was very pleased with the sections, no chatter in eight
blocks, three levels each.

We average over 400 cassettes a day, and put the Accession # on the top of the cassette, the last name on one side and tissue type on the other side.  We are currently still doing all this by hand, but are looking into getting slide and cassette labelers.  We started doing this as a matter of safety and not by any regulatory standard 5-6 years ago.  It is a procedure that has saved us many times over the years.  It is very rare to have cassettes that are mislabeled by both the accession # and patients name.

Hi Melissa:  When definition is compromised I use a 1% light green counterstain for 30 seconds.  My boss thinks it is great.

If you obtain the detail you need with the DAB, eliminate the counter stain altogether because really you do not need it.

Hi all,
I'm staining mouse lung tissues with Dako's Ki67 using Vector ABC Elite
and DAB to visualize - I get lovely sharp black brown nuclei where appropriate.
There is almost no background staining.  However, no matter how lightly I
counterstain, I lose the definition between DAB and counterstain - I have tried
hematoxylin and Nuclear Red - any suggestions? Thanks - Melissa

According to the "rule" regarding 2 patient identifiers, it is our
understanding that the 2 identifiers must be on the container label and
in the computer system upon accessioning.  When the computer assigns the
surgical case number, all info is linked to that listed surgical
accessioned number and your 2 or more identifiers are pulled up with the
case.  That also keeps within "HIPPA" guidelines to have patient
information openly available when blocks or slides are sent out or left
out in view.  Otherwise, barcoding is the ideal way to place, view, and
tie all information needed!!

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone heard of the Klotskin's modification of the Masson's Trichrome?
I am working with a liver pathologist who wants me to try to work it up.  I
can't seem to find it anywhere.  I have tried numerous books, and scoured
the internet.  Someone asked about 3 years ago on histonet, but there were
no replies.  If anyone could help me I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Isn't a Klatskin tumor (of the biliary tree) spelled with A and not O?  There are multiple pictures and references to Klatskin's Trichrome.  Try A spelling and not O.

Try searching Klatskin Trichrome.  Lots of references on internet.
Klatskin was a famous liver pathologist.

I am working with a liver pathologist who wants me to try to work it up.
I

I apologize for the typo, I meant Klatskin, It is very early in the morning
here...There are many references, and yes, a couple of photos of the stain,
but no actual procedure...

Can someone let me know where I can purchase a good PIN4 control....also, what tissue do you use for the negative when you use one control for multiple cases.
Thanks,
Ann

Each case ought to have its own negative control. If several cases are treated by the same antibody you can have one single positive control for that Ab, but the same does not apply to negative controls.

Could someone tell me the best way for quick decalcification of parafin
embeded brain tissue. I know about treatment with HCl. Anything else? With
something, perhaps that can be found in the biochemical lab??? thanks

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS:  

#1:  Today's Artifacts - Tomorrow's Facts?
Lamar Jones, BS, HT(ASCP) - This workshop will teach the participant to
recognize and identify artifacts from the gross board, fixation, processing,
embedding, microtomy, staining, coverslipping and other areas of
histotechnology. 

#2:  Expense Analysis and Reduction in the IHC Lab
Joe Myers, - This workshop will discuss ways to cut expenses in the
immunohistochemistry laboratory without sacrificing quality.  

#3:  Decalcified and Undecalcified Bone: Histology Techniques
Vickie Kalscheur - The speaker will give an overview of Decalcified and
Undecalcified bone sample preparation for research histology.  Specimen
collection, fixation, decalcification, processing, and more will be covered
using a wide variety of bone samples.  The undecalcified component, again
discusses handling, preparation, and staining of undecalcified Plastic
embedded bone samples.  Special and immunohistochemical staining of bone
specimens will be discussed.  This talk will be casual and informative for
those working in clinical or research settings.  Handouts will be provided.

#4:  Basic Troubleshooting for Histology Laboratory Equipment 
Jason Velasquez, Technical Engineer -This course will provide a basic
preventive maintenance guide that will assist users of histology equipment
in the upkeep and troubleshooting of their instruments.  The type of
cleaning solvents that can and cannot be used will be discussed (along with
some pictures that show what happens when the wrong cleaning supplies are
used) and how and where to clean for best results.  The types of tools that
should be kept in the laboratory's tool chest and how and when to use them
will be demonstrated.  Common types of faults that can be reasonably
repaired by the average Histotech will be discussed and the ways, tools and
thoughts behind the troubleshooting process will be investigated.  Some
symptoms that precede failures will be made known so that the users can
notify their bio-medical technicians or repair group of a pending failure,
before the instrument breaks completely.

#5:  Commitment in the Workplace - What Does it Mean to the Employee and
Employer
Wanda Grace Jones, - Hospitals, Research Labs, and Private Laboratories
still struggle with continuous loss of employees and finding new employees
to fill these positions.  Past research has isolated two variables that
impact employee turnover.  1st variable is employee's identification with
and involvement in an organization (how involved are you).  2nd variable is
the employee's perception of level of commitment an organization has to the
employee.  We will discuss the attitude toward an organization which
attaches the person to an organization, the process by which the goals of
the organization and employee become integrated, building better
communication between employee and employer and cost associated when an
employee decides to leave.

#6:  Contemporary Trends in Immunohistochemistry
Mary Cheles, MPH, HTL, DLM(ASCP) - The analysis of a patient has
historically relied on morphology and the evaluation of individual
antibodies on pathological tissue.  Immunohistochemistry has been in
practice for the past 40 years.  During that time, we have seen an evolution
from individual reagents to optimized systems and from manual staining
practices to fully automated options.  Pathology and laboratory medicine is
changing faster than ever. In the future, personalized medicine will define
the effect of a therapy based on an individual's gene and protein profile.
What does this mean and where does the histology community fit in?  This
workshop will briefly review immunohistochemistry basics, opportunities for
automation, process standardization, antibody validation, regulatory product
labeling and current proficiency testing.
