[Histonet] RE: Explanted prosthetic valves

Hi, Rich.
I've worked at institutions with both policies. At one, we had a detailed Explanted Medical Device Policy which was developed in cooperation with the Risk Management Department. The other left it up to the surgeon as to whether or not to send the devices to pathology. Ultimately, it is up to Risk Management to ensure compliance with explanted medical device requirements.
Hope this helps.
Diana Goodwin

Hi Guys-

a square glass baking dish inset on the top.? We don't care if they're blue
but the small footprint with the glass insert is the key--

Hello and Greetings.
I am looking for a solution to our refrigerator mold problem. We have stacks of folders in our refrigerators, and they get moldy with time.
I have placed a small open container of bleach on the bottom shelf, and that seems to have worked, but I'm not sure if that is detrimental to slide and reagent storage.
I have purchased some strong disinfectants also, but I don't know if those vapors will harm slides or reagents.
Thanks so much for all of your continued insight and advice!

Okay, time for my two cents' worth. Water baths - I don't like the
glass-dish-insert kind because water can get beneath the glass dish and
can temp fluctuations. And if the glass insert breaks, it might be
difficult to find a replacement (Pyrex?). I like the good ol' fashioned
round or rectangular black-lined fill-it-with-water-and-turn-it-on kind.
They hold temp much better and because they are lined with something
like black Teflon (or whatever), they clean like a dream. I found that
I really do not like the romantic under-tissue lighting. It's all about
preferences and this is mine...not that you asked, but that never
stopped me before, did it? Happy Tuesday!

By folders, I assume you mean the cardboard ones. Why not store the slides in

But perhaps try dessicant or baking soda, which would reduce the moisture....

Joyce,
We disposed of of tissues and their containers after 6 weeks on the shelf. Outdated blocks were placed in the same totes used for the tissues and picked up by an outside company for incineration.

How does everyone handle disposing of blocks that are more than 10 years old? Are they incinerated, hauled away by a waste management company or just thrown in the trash.
In Maryland I was told they can't be thrown in the regular trash by a state waste official.

Hi Becky,
There were several posts between March 23-31 addressing the quality of the Paraplast if you want to check them out.?We tried trouble-shooting everything we could think of when we noticed a change in the paraffin.?The texture was very different?and it was so?sticky?our sections stuck to the blade no matter how we tried to fix the problem.?It was gritty and caused nicks in the blade after just a few sections. We tried several different blades to make sure it wasn't a problem there or a bad batch.?Different brands as well as both low?and high profile. We?tried the different blades and settings because we had just replaced all our microtomes?and thought maybe we just needed to make some adjustments but we experienced the same problem with each?blade at every setting we tried?and concluded the paraffin was the problem.?The issues?were resolved after we switched back to ordering the EM-400 from Cardinal.

What paraffin is everyone using. We have been a Paraplast user made by
McCormick.? We have noticed black to gray small dusty particles in the
embedding well. I have tried a couple others, but the ribbons compress.? I
have tried the a different angle at 3 with no difference.? I would
appreciate some help from all of you.
Thanks

Now that Oncotech is out of business, who is everyone sending their
extreme resistance assays to?
We were just briefed today by a company called Precision Therapeutics
out of Pittsburgh PA that they perform Chemo sensitivity and resistance
tests and the test is called ChemoFx. Their website is
www.precisiontherapeutics.com. I have no affiliation with this company.
Precision Therapeutics supplies the shipping container and fluid,
usually overnight delivery with Saturday deliveries allowed.

Hello,
Many of our surgeons who previously requested we send specimens to Oncotech
switched to Precision Therapeutics about a year or so ago (although some
still used Oncotech at times). We have used Precision with no problems.
They even supplied us with a refrigerator to store the specimen collection
kits which need to be refrigerated, and our reps have been very helpful
overall. Hope this helps.

Hi Histonetters,
I have a huge favor to ask, I have been asked to start up work on frozen tissue samples to perform RNA FISH. I am looking for some individuals how are doing this or attempting to do this and can help shed some light on this undertaking. We successfully were able to get this protocol to work on cultures cells form a few different lines but know that the transition may be much more difficult in human tissue samples. Again any help or advise anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. If you want to contact me offline that would be fine. Thanks in advance for any help.
John

Neither procedure is reliable. Use Tim's method (sulfur dioxide).

You should never use an open container with bleach in any place where you keep slides, because bleach will affect the antigens in the sections and affect histochemical reactions as well.
Carboard folders will catch fungus spores outside the refrigerator that eventually will develop into fungi, as in your case. Carboard folders are not a good option to store slides in the humid environment of a refrigerator.
You should put your slides in plastic boxes, either in large ones (100 slides each) or small ones (25 slides).
You will be able alto to store more slides in less space.

Hello and Greetings.
I am looking for a solution to our refrigerator mold problem.? We have stacks of folders in our refrigerators, and they get moldy with time.
I have placed a small open container of bleach on the bottom shelf, and that seems to have worked, but I'm not sure if that is detrimental to slide and reagent storage.
I have purchased some strong disinfectants also, but I don't know if those vapors will harm slides or reagents.
Thanks so much for all of your continued insight and advice!

What software systems is everyone in clinical settings using for image analysis of markers such as p53, MIB1, Estrogen, Progesterone, HER2 IHC, possibly and HER2 FISH for starters? What characteristics do you like and not like about your system?
