Good afternoon everybody,

Would anyone be willing to offer their wisdom on the best etching
solution for 50 to 75 micron thick jaw specimens embedded in MMA? The
stain we want to use is a Trichrome. Thanks in advance for your help.

0.7% Formic Acid for 30 seconds with sonication, then rinse well in DI
water.

Probably many of us have but it would be better if you consult with your
HR Dept. because corrective actions could lead to some type of
"punishment" and they have to be approved by the HR Dept. René J.

Corrective actions don't have to lead to punishment!  Corrective action
should be a positive quality assurance. How can we make it better and
not have this happen this way again type of thing.

I'm looking at it from the standpoint of an inspector - we had a problem
and what steps did we follow to correct it and prevent it from happening
again.  I'm not planning on using it as a punishment for anyone.

This is used in concordance to CAP guidelines for PIP.  The phrasing  
scares people off because ii states "Incident/Complaint Form".   
People need to realize we ALL make mistakes.  This form is used for  
corrective measures and process improvement in Pre-Analytical- 
Technical-Analytical & Post-Analytical.  It is recommended to have  
Quarterly Reviews by Committee members to address what Corrective  
Measures have been implemented.

Remember folks, this is for improving patient care and not to finger  
point or put blame on anyone.

You don't want to call it corrective action, as that indicates
'negligence' or 'failure to follow direction' on the part of the tech...
Unless that is the case and you are looking to go after an
employee......

Instead you need to call it Performance Improvement... This notes a
problem, reason for the problem, and a solution to the problem...
followed up by a time line where you follow the change in Policy and
Procedure.

It shows a problem that occurred where patient safety was compromised
and a solution to the problem to avoid any potential future.

You document this... Say you change the procedure today... well, keep
track of the IHCs for the next 2 months...6 months (what ever timeline
you choose)... then write up the conclusion to your findings.

Here's and example: "The change to preparing IHC slides per Policy and
Procedure #2001 on May 1, 2010 and studied for 4 months,  we found no
more issues regarding false positives."

VBS (clone 1EW) 1:40 with ER1 for 20 minutes (low pH)
Biocare (clone BC/24) 1:50 with ER2 for 20 minutes (high pH)
 
These protocols come from various sites using the Bond instrument....
Tonsil is the control of choice.
 
Hope this helps.....

Hi Jean,

We use Cell Marque's (via VMS) clone 24.  We have to throw the entire
arsenal at our disposal at these stains but they're acceptable.

Good luck Jean; any questions, you know where we live!

Just about any tissue should work.   It stains for Hematopoietic
stem/progenitor cells, bone marrow stromal cells, endothelial cells,
embryonic fibroblasts
We use a sausage style control here with about 30 different types of
tissue.

  I have a doctor who wants to stain some tissue with cd34. I need to
know if anyone can recommend a good positive control tissue for this
antibody. The staining will be done in paraffin embedded sections.
Thanks in advance.

Joel,
A section of skin will be a fine CD34 control. All collagenous
connective tissue, including the dermis,  are rich in CD34+ dendritic
interstitial fibroblasts as well as CD34 positive endothelium in the
resident vessels. Actually, in my lab we use a section of fallopian tube
from tubal ligation, they are loaded with the fibroblasts and vessels.

Hi:

Have you considered the possibility that there is something wrong with
the microtome?  Sadly equipment that is "inherited" can have issues.

Perhaps a good cleaning is in order -

By the way, what the make/model of the tome?  I have a couple of B&L's
that are available for a trade --;-)

which operates differently specimens could be compromised.  I welcome

How true, but a lot of people don't understand that and get it all
wrong! The inspectors just want to see the identification of problems,
the follow-up and the resolution. The feedback loop.

Can you charge 88307 x2 for fused twin placentas? I'm not sure as

yes?
