Hi Kim,

Try probe on plus slides by fisherbrand for frozen samples. We use it for sectioning frozen tendon.

Hello Annette,

We use Purified Mouse anti-Rat CD31 from BD Biosciences (Catalog#

with the following steps:

1X Morphosave (Ventana) (15 min)
0.3% H202 quench(Sigma) (20 min)
Avidin and Biotin block (Vector) (15 min each)
Covance blocking reagent (25 min)
Mouse anti-Rat CD31 (25 min) at 2.0 ug/mL
Biotinylated Horse anti-Mouse IgG (Vector-BA-2001) (25 minutes) at 5.0
ug/mL
Covance Labeling Reagent (25 min)
Covance Dab (2 x 5 min)

(Each step has PBS washes in between and is performed at RT)


Thanks,

Anna

We use the Rabbit anti-PECAM-1 (sc-1506-R, Santa Cruz) 1:100 on paraffin
sections (HIER with citrate buffer pH 6.0 required).
It works on pig and rat tissue.

I recall may years ago using the alcohol burner to heat my forceps and I was startled when the ice I had my blox on broke away from the pan and made a loud sound in an otherwise very quiet lab.  I knocked over the alcohol burner and started a major lab fire. I used the extinguisher and all was fine but it took a while to get it all out.  The biggest fear was the waste containers(good reason to recycle.

Amazing that your tech had the presence of mind to do ALL of those things!
?
Used to work with a couple of old school techs back in the days when folks smoked in the lab.? One tech would embed with a xylene soaked rag to wipe the plate and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth.? She also used an open bunsen burner to keep her forceps hot....cannot tell you how many times she set fire to that rag...used her coffee to put it out most times...
?
As Louise says--in another time and dimension.

Yea we were just looking at this yesterday.? There is no question on the CAP
check list about using RUO's anymore, but it is still in the discussion
section with ASR's and it is stated as you mentioned to include a disclaimer
and statement that you did try to find an IVD or ASR antibody.? Our question
was about billing the patient for RUO use.? CAP does not really address
billing issues like that, but CMS does as far as we could tell, and we have
been told that if you bill for RUO's CMS could come back and deny payment of
the claim and perhaps all bills from your lab.

We were wondering if anyone is billing patients for RUO antibodies, but of
course if you are you may not want to say so to bring attention to yourself.

Our new CAP checklist does not mention the use of RUO antibodies anymore.
This was under the question using ASR antibodies in the past.???I believe
the requirement was that if we wanted to use an RUO antibody we had to have
a disclaimer similar to the ASR disclaimer but we also had to have a
statement stating that we had searched for an IVD or ASR antibody.? Does
anyone know if this is still the practice or am I missing something????I do
know of course than when using either an ASR or RUO antibody we have to
establish and verify the performance.???Any thoughts about the RUO(s)?

Here's mine. Had a per diem tech who?didn't like the electric forceps warmer.? She worked over Saturdays alone and brought in an alcohol lamp to heat her forceps and then knocked it over spilling flaming alcohol all over the thermal and dispensing consoles. Then, even worse, she poured water all over both plugged- in electic appliances. We got away with just melted facade?face plates on both instruments.

Good afternoon,

Does anyone have a "nice" HSV I & II concentrate antibody for IHC on
FFPE that they use.  Biocare recently discontinued their concentrate and
we don't do enough of these to warrant buying a predilute.  We'd like a

Does anyone here have any experience with using microwave tissue processing and then performing IHC stains on those same tissues?

We have new microwave processors and are trying to determine if we will need to get all new controls for our IHCs that have been microwave processed.  If yes, we will need to do validations on the controls, but I am wondering if the MW will have any discernible effect on the reactivity of the tissue.

thanks for any help!

I have used the Sakura Xpress for 5+ years and have had great success w/ all staining, w/ little to no changes. The Xpress does not use Xylene and that was a change from our conventional processing and reagents, so we did have to collect new control tissues. I say that anytime you change the process, you MUST collect new control tissue and you will ned to document. When CAP comes to visit and they see a MW processor, you will need to show them your validation and control tissue documentation. If you have the possibility of using both conventional or Microwave processd tissue, then make a modified sausage block to include both types of processing protocols, so that work can flow through the lab smoothly.

Michelle:
The key in MW tissue processing is to accelerate the process and it is very likely that the quality of the tissues will be the same as if processed in a more "traditional" way, at least that is the claim and the objective.
Having said that this does not mean that you don't have to demonstrate it with a validation process.
You should always have controls processed in the very same way as the patients' tissues so in theory you have to obtain a new set of controls processed with the your MW tissue processor.
The complication develops if you have also a "conventional" tissue processor and then you will need two sets of controls.
Ideally all your cases should be processed with a single method.

In my experience I have not seen any change in the MW tissue versus the routine processing.  What we have tried to do since we have so many different antibodies and control tissues is create mini sausage blocks with one piece of MW tissue and one piece of non MW tissue.  Because we were not always sure what tissue were microwaved and what tissues were not.
For example one small piece of tonsil microwaved and one non microwaved embedded in the same block. That way no matter what your patient tissue sample has gone through you have all the bases covered.
It takes a long time to set up but will save you time in the end.
If you run your tissues when you validate the microwave you'll have half of the process finished.

Your control tissue needs to be processed the same as your patient
samples.

Subject: [Histonet] Microwave processing and IHCs



Does anyone here have any experience with using microwave tissue
processing and then performing IHC stains on those same tissues?

We have new microwave processors and are trying to determine if we will
need to get all new controls for our IHCs that have been microwave
processed.  If yes, we will need to do validations on the controls, but
I am wondering if the MW will have any discernible effect on the
reactivity of the tissue.

thanks for any help!

I understand and agree in principle.  However let me ask this:
If a validation study shows that there is no difference between conventional tissue processing and microwave tissue processing in your IHC protocols then why can't you then use controls that are processed either by conventional or microwave.   If we can't then are we using controls that have been decaled for tissues that have to be decaled and so forth.  I have always believed if you can validate there is no appreciable difference in methods than we can use the same controls.

Subject: [Histonet] inquiry about Arthur Bolles Lee

Dear Histonetters
I got this request which I presume was intended for the Histonet list.
Does anyone have information on this gentleman I can pass along?

Dear Linda,
I would appreciate it you could seek or make an inquiry for me. I am
looking for an obituary and other biographical information about the
histotechnologist Arthur Bolles Lee (1849 - 1927).
Sincerely,
Frederick H. Kasten
Johnson City,  TN


Thanks...
