Hi Nancy,
We too use p16 on the Bond Max and Bond III using Leica ER 1 for 20 min. It is working great for us!

I am having problems with water droplets appearing on slides when
transferring the rack from the last 100% dehydrant (Richard-Allan) to
either SafeClear II or xylenes. I saw that some of you had noted this
problem might be in the xylene substitute, but switching to xylene
seemed to solve it. I am wondering if the "100%" isn't? I have poured
immediately before use from freshly opened bottles, and still have the
problem. Would appreciate any help (of course, the humidity is high
right now, but...)!

Has anyone successful fixed & embedded tissues in OCT after using
RNAlater buffer? I've found a paper that says this doesn't affect tissue
integrity but I need for info regarding protocol (To defrost? Fixative?
Timing? Temperature Etc) ...and more than anything feedback from someone
who has used/uses this product.

Having some trouble with my IHC optimisation. Hopefully it's a simple
fix someone may be able to provide some guidance (Im a junior RA! Hello
histoworld!).

Im using a DAB protocol with swine-anti-rabbit HRP on human colon. I
have successful staining of my primary (yay!), somewhat successful
staining with my antibody preabsorbed with peptide (yet still some
staining)...BUT im seeing positive staining on my secondary only
controls (may explain why im getting a bit of staining on my preabsorped
specimens). I quench with 5% hydrogen peroxide for 5 min on day 1 (prior
to primaries/no primary if secondary control) and on day 2 add 1 DAKO
DAB chromogen tablet to 10ml PBS and 10ul hydrogen peroxide again before
immersing slides for 8 min, then stain with haematoxylin per usual,
dehydrate, clear & mount. I feel like I need a super quencher or
something?! Any tips would be most helpful. (My slides also undergo
antigen retrieval in citrate buffer ph6 for 10min @ 95deg and 20min at
RT)

Sakura has developed a threshold for humidity if you are using their film
coverslipper.  Other than that, I am not aware of any specific requirements
for routine histology equipment.

Dr. Richmond recommended using non-flammable and non-explosive Novec (tm) Engineered Fluid HFE-7100. We are currently using this for our freezing and it works very well. The main thing we have noticed is the blocks float in it and do not sink as they would with other solvents.

It is a 3M product, and my contact there last year was ebinder <@t> mmm.com (Erin Binder).

Megan

Pre absorbing your antibody for a control for IHC is not always going to work there are publications out there that do not recommend it.  I'll try to find the reference I'm talking about.  I pulled this out of one of my presentations

Protocols available on the web - for western blots

http://www.upstate.com/misc/protocol_detail.q.prot.e.peptide-competion.a.name.e.Peptide_Competition

http://store.crpinc.com/prot_peptide_comp.aspx

"The absorption control is less important because if cannot determine whether the protein bound in the tissue is the same protein that used for absorption.  Therefore, the recommended guidelines for immunohistochemistry include negative controls and positive controls but do not include absorption controls."

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with processing specimens obtained using the Spirabrush for GYN cases. We have an account who would like to submit his specimens using this method and we wanted to know if people are handling these as Cytology specimens or Histology specimens.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Histonetters -

There seems to be a little glitch in our hospital's application process. Several people have said that they have applied for the position of Program Director for the Schools of Histotechnology at William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, MI. But no one is showing up in the system.

Could all those interested please go two things:
1. Reapply
2. Send resume (in a separate email, in addition to attaching it to the application process) to our Human Resources person and to me, just in case the application doesn't show up again.

Diane Soper, Human Resources dsoper <@t> beaumont.edu

Peggy Wenk, School, pwenk <@t> beaumont.edu

For more information about the job, and directions on where to apply, go to the NSH website:
www.nsh.org
On the right, click on Career Center
On the left/middle, click on View Jobs
Look for the 6/30/11 Program Director position, click on View

I apologize for the inconvenience.
