[Histonet] Gastric biopsies

[Joyce Cline]

Jennifer,

I  read my response and realize I made the mistake of stating on all esophageal biopsies. We only do candida
when the Endoscopy physicians list it on the paperwork. I ran out of our control for fungus so I am purchasing controls from American Master Tech. (they use superfrost plus slides which is what Ventana approves for our NexES stainer) The American Master Tech fungus controls stain well with Pas light green and GMS.

Joyce,
I am facinated by your routine PAS/light green on esophogeal biopsies.  We are talking about working this stain up in house, but have had trouble finding candida control tissue.  May I ask what you use or how you obtain your controls?  Jennifer

We do Iron,Trichrome, Pas with and without Diastase and Retic on liver biopsies if requested by the grossing pathologist. We do Diff-Quik on all stomach biopsies, and if requested by the pathologist an Hp immno. A tricchrome is done on colon with a diagnosis of microscopic or collagenous colitis . A pas light green is done on esophogeal biopsies for candida. Any other specials are done at the request of the pathologist.

Hello Histoland,
I was wondering if anyone out there does stains other than H&E 's on specific tissues.  For example, does anyone run stains to rule out H. pylori on all gastric biopsies?  Any information as to the standards in other labs would be great.
Thanks,
Cristi
