Can you charge for two different stains for the urine cytospin?

Hello all,

Our hospital is moving our histology department across the hall and have
asked us if we can find an alternative to the bunsen burner so they
don't
have to install a gas line.  The pathologist has told me that there is
some
machine that can be used instead of a flame to burn the forceps while
embedding (which is our main use for the bunsen flame).  This is the
only
lab I have ever worked at and I don't know what such a machine would be
called.  If anyone knows the name, or any other alternative method can
you
let me know.  Model numbers/companies would be a bonus too!  Thanks so
much
for your help.

Yes, the Pathology Assistant national organization is a great resource
as is the CAP.  As I said before, please remember that the CAP
inspection standards represent compliance with FEDERAL CMS standards.  I
would encourage contact with the CAP LAP  in regard to these FEDERAL
standards.  Individual states may also have requirements specific for
that state, which certainly may complicate things, so contact with your
state pathology society will help with that.

Why are you still using a bunsen burner? I believe there is a CAP
question about "No open flames" in the lab. I would suggest finding a
replacement.

We use an alcohol burner that has a wick inside. It works well for us.

I think that's the crux of her question - what can she use as an 
alternative?   You can find forceps warmers here.

Although, I still miss the ol' bunsen burner.   It was great for burning

away little fragments of tissue from between the teeth - of the forceps,

not my teeth.

Doesn't your embedding station have a forceps warmer on it? You should
not be using an open flame......
