[Histonet] Dermpath Lab People

Are the tissues coming from the same client or is it all derms across the board and just some of them?  To me if the tissue is separating at the dermal/epidermal junction, that saline or some sort of salt solution  is involved.  Just a thought.

> Hello,
> I am looking for a network of people who would be willing to share info on derm stuff.  I am currently the supervisor of a fairly large derm lab.  We've been open about 13 yrs and I've worked here about 12 yrs (Sup for about 1).  Things are going pretty well but when I run into problems I would like to share my info with people who may have similar experiences.  Currently, I am having some difficulty with quality.  Tissues seem a little dry and tough, but they act sensitive to handling.  Upon microscopic exam they ofter look torn.  The tearing seems to be occurring a lot at the dermal/epidermal junction.  At first I thought it may be happening at embedding but now I not so sure.  Our processing schedule/reagents haven't changed and peoples work habits are the same.  The Paths have noticed the problem for about 2 months.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I hope I can be of service to one of you in the future.
