I wish to test how the Histochoice ( Amresco) fixative works in lieu of 4% paraformaldehyde for my frozen brain sections in order to avoid the subsequent antigen retrieval step.
Can anybody share their experience how it works ? For how much time should I use it for fixation?
Thanks

Is there a path to becoming a histologist in the State of Oklahoma? I
know there are online training programs which can be completed
concurrently with an Associates degree (I think) but is/are there a
location/locations in OK where the clinical portion of the training can
be carried out? I'd appreciate any leads - it's for a family member I'm
trying to recruit to become One of Us! Thank you, everyone.

Liz,
I am curious, why do you not use the recycled xylene prior to the paraffin
step in the processor? And why not for cleaning?
I understand not recycling the cleaning alcohol or xylene, or even the first
xylene on the stainer as they have too many contaminants.
Nirmala,
With regards to getting a lower quality of your alcohol, do you check the
water content prior to recycling? We have found that it's not worth
attempting to recycle any graded alcohols below 95% (that is to say, 70% or
80%). There is a "dilute" alcohol setting that can be used, but you will
need the CBG folks to tell you how to access that one. It's there though!

We have the CBG recycler also. We initially started recycling both alcohol
and xylene, but we now only recycle alcohol. We ended up with so much
recycled xylene that we could not use. Also you can not use the recycled
xylene on the last xylene station in the tissue processor, or for cleaning.
It just did not work out for us for the xylene. We rotate our xylenes and
alcohols weekly so we are always putting on one fresh absolute and one fresh
xylene, there was never a place for us to use the recycled xylene, so we
ended up with lots of it. If you change your entire tissue processor then
you could put a recycled xylene in place of your first xylene and then use
fresh xylene for the last station. We do recycle the alcohol. We get about
95% alcohol out of the recycler - we test it for percentage of alcohol via a
hydrometer and for contamination with xylene by adding water to a small
portion of it. We only use it for 95% or less so we make up our 50%, 70% and
80% alcohol from the recycled alcohol, these solutions do go on our tissue
processor and in the staining set up and they seem to work just fine. To be
honest we do not keep track of how many times the alcohol has been recycled
we just keep recycling it.
As for disposal we have a really cool flammable cabinet that houses a 55
gallon drum, the drum is on rollers so it can be moved easily. All of our
waste goes in there its picked up whenever it is full. We use Source/AET
Environmental to dispose of all our liquid waste.

Subject: [Histonet] CBG BIOTECH RECYCLER
Hi All,
Needs some information on waste of xylene and alcohol.
We are currently using a CBG recycler in our lab. We have been told that
the clean alcohols and xylenes should not go in the recycler since it
contains paraffin.
Also the observation is, the alcohols put in the machine is percentage
wise less than what is put in. In other words the recycled alcohols are
used as 95% or less. Our cytology department does not used the recycled
alcohols or xylenes since they claim to have staining issues. Does any one
out there has developed a standard of howmany times the
alcohols and xylene can be recycled? Do you have a company pick up your
waste after a couple of recycles.
Who helps out with the waste disposal and are they poured into 55 gallon
drums and hauled away?
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks

We use the CBG Biotech Recycler to recycle formalin, alcohol and xylene and they all turn out very nicely. We always assay/test each batch to make sure it is ok to use. The xylene always comes out at 99.9% and we use it on all stations of our processor and to stain with and have no problems. We collect our waste alcohols as batches of 70% and 80% to be recycled together and then 95% and 100% to be recycled together. Ususally we get back between 83% and 98% from the reclaimed alcohol and dilute accordingly. We were told by CBG Biotech Tech Support, there is no limit to how many times you can recycle any of the products. Also, you can recycle xylene with paraffin in it, but DO NOT recycle any alcohol contaminated with xylene. We do not recycle any alcohol off the stainer or the cleaning alcohol off the processors. The waste we end up with that cannot be recycled goes in the 55 gal. barrels to be hauled off for proper disposal. Hope this helps!

In the past I've given the water bath a really good clean then
sprayed with matt black paint. Couple of coats and it looks like new. The
paint that comes in cans from DIY stores is all that's needed. Any paint
remaining can be used on the lab wall, "mental histologists rule, ok." It's
a Glasgow thing.

Those black flecks could absolutely be from the waterbaths. I have yet
to find a coated waterbath that does not eventually loose its lining.
In frustration, I've had techs use a SOS pad to scrub off the lining to
finally get rid of it. Waterbath still worked, just no nice teflon
lining. I've tried returning them, but they all still went bad. Maybe
next purchase, you could go the glass liner type.
>>> path lab <pathology.histology <@t> gmail.com> 5/4/2010 10:56 AM >>>
Our waterbaths leave a good amount of black residue on our paper towels
when
we dump the water and wipe them out at the end of the day. Is anyone
else
having this problem? It appears that the finish is gradually wearing
off.
Could this be the cause of the artifact ( black specs appear to be
on top
of the tissue ) that we occassionally see? Thank you in advance for
your
replies.
