Dear everyone,

I'm wondering where I can order the Picro-Mallory Trichrome Stain kit? I couldn't find it online excepted some Italian companies.
Thanks,

Here's a truly hi-tech suggestion for doing PAS-diastase stains by the
spit method (which by the way is still how it's done by the small
pathology services I work on):

You can produce copious quantities of saliva by the simple expedient
of chewing on a rubber band for a couple of minutes. This used to be
the technique used to obtain saliva samples for determination of ABH
substance secretor status in the blood bank. (I belong to that elite
20% of donors who are non-secretors, and Lewis-a positive to prove
it.)

The answer to that question may have to wait a week or two. At least here at the UW. Our wonderful governor is trying to get rid of the state workers unions and collective bargaining. He is trying to push it through (it was just introduced this last Friday), and the vote is slated for later this week. The techs at the UW hospital have fortunately signed their contract that is good until the reopener in 1013 and we are not strictly state employees. However, the way things are looking, it is not out of the question that he may also try to void our contracts.  Our pay MAY go up, but we will no longer have much, if anything, for benefits.  Don't count on sending your kids to the UW colleges if this goes through.
Sorry, I'm fighting mad right now. I'm not usually big on the unions, but this is HUGE for millions of Wisconsinites. GGRRRRR!

The following link is to the ASCP "Laboratory Medicine" article from March
2009. They do the survey every other year, so there should be another survey
coming out any month now.
http://www.ascp.org/pdf/Membership-Communications/Wage-and-Vacancy-Survey.aspx

Advance for Medical Laboratory Professionals just published their survey on
Jan. 31, 2011.
http://laboratorian.advanceweb.com/SharedResources/Downloads/2011/013111/MT013111_SalarySurvey.pdf

Realize that even with a state, there can be several dollars per hour
difference. Let alone the differences between states in a region. I suggest
taking the information in the surveys, look at the relationship between
HT/HTL, MLT/MT, and CT, and then apply the same ratio within your own
institute.

Hope that helps.

I am trying to put together a training document around microtomy and sectioning and am finding it hard to find information around the placement of the actual sections on the slides.  These are the objectives I am looking to answer.  Is this information found in any publications?

1)  Tissue / Section Placement:  Are there published guidelines / documentation on precisely where you should place tissue sections on a 25mm x 75mm glass slide?   Perhaps more importantly, where you should NOT place tissue (ie. ?x? mm from the edge of the glass slide)?

2)  Diagnosable Slide Staining Area:  With automation becoming more widely used in IHC, are there published guidelines / documentation on the usable or diagnosable staining area on a 25mm x 75mm glass slide?  For instance, would you define that as the area under a traditional coverslip?  Would this be defined as the entire slide below the label?  Or is this some distance from all the edges of the slide?  With some automated systems, it is near impossible to get edge to edge staining.  Is this acceptable?


Thanks for any ideas.

Hi Tanya,

It's always best to train people to place the section in the middle of
the slide.  It depends if one has to put multiple sections on a slide.
 Learning how to do proper placement will help them when they have to
cut controls for IHC that are often times placed on the top of the
slide.

Sections placed too close to the very bottom or top sometimes don't
get stained or coverslipped.  Too close to the edges and you can
suffer wrap around or overlap, causing the section to be difficult for
the pathologist to read.  Boy howdy!  They will let you know if they
don't like the placement.

Therefore, train for centering the section as best as possible.

I hope this helps,

Paula  :-)

I learned from an old school HT and studied using the Carson book.  In
this book there are several pages on where to put sections.  If you
don't have the Frieda Carson book (or "the bible" as I refer to it), get
it.  A new edition just came out about a year ago.  If you're an ASCP
member I think the price is reduced...
For the most part, just put everything as close to the middle of the
clear glass part of the slide as possible.  This also does well for IHC
automation.  I think most automated machines you can adjust the drop
range too if you want to put the sections on the bottom or top?
Good Luck!

the usable or diagnosable staining area on a 25mm x 75mm glass slide?
For instance, would you define that as the area under a traditional
coverslip?  Would this be defined as the entire slide below the label?
Or is this some distance from all the edges of the slide?  With some
automated systems, it is near impossible to get edge to edge staining.
Is this acceptable?


Thanks for any ideas.

Here's a truly hi-tech suggestion for doing PAS-diastase stains by the
spit method (which by the way is still how it's done by the small
pathology services I work on):

You can produce copious quantities of saliva by the simple expedient of
chewing on a rubber band for a couple of minutes. This used to be the
technique used to obtain saliva samples for determination of ABH
substance secretor status in the blood bank. (I belong to that elite 20%
of donors who are non-secretors, and Lewis-a positive to prove
it.)

Michael,

ASCP has a wage/salary survey that they distribute based upon region and
certification.  Some have said that this is biased as not everyone does
participate.  I tend to agree with the survey, but also recognize that
dermatopathology is a 'specialty' type lab.  I worked in Dermpath at NYU
back in the 80's to early 90's and our salaries were not identical to the
clinical labs as we were a part of the medical school and not the hospital.
Yes the hospital was 1199 at that time, I cannot say if they are still.

My recommendation is to go with what you can find from the survey, but also
network with other dermpath or other specialty labs in your area that you
may know or who you can connect with through others - either on the
listserver or off - to possibly get a better sounding of salaries.  HR at
your hospital might be also able to help if you have someone there that you
can work with and trust to obtain some of the data you're looking for and
understands what your specific needs are within the lab.  I would include
your pathologists in this as much as possible as they will be needed to
support your request(s) as they are essentially your clients.

I've found two brass handles on Ebay in the last few years.  I don't know if
you're aware of this but the exact same blades that fit these handles can be
purchased at Home Depot in the carpet section.  $10 for 50 of them.

Hello Histoland,

I'm preparing for the HTL exam after being trained on-the-job and working in
histo for a few years.  I'm using the standard 'Theory and practice...' text
as my main resource.  I'm wondering if anyone has used either the ASCP
practice tests (a set of 5 are available from ascp for about $30) or the NSH
Self-assessment Program (which has modules that correspond to the exam
sections).  The NSH program is expensive at about $240 but I don't know if
it's worth it.  Has anyone used either of these resources?

Thanks!

As a pathologist I have some preferences on how certain tissues are oriented on a slide and work with my histotechs so they can learn my prefs. I also like my slides in certain orientation in the slide tray. EG, for orientation of skin, I like the the dermis at the top when I am looking at the slide. Some other tissues can be so oriented, some cannot. We often put multiple levels on one slide and I would prefer them to be all oriented similarly and in a straight line.

The most annoying thing I see beyond coverslipping the wrong side, is the label covering a part of the specimen. I don't care how close to the edge a section is as long as it is all on the slide and covered by the cover-slip or mounting medium.

I have no idea is these preferences are weird. My point is the answer to you 1st question may depend on your particular pathologists' preferences.

I always try to center the section equally from sides and top-bottom as possible. This means measure from the bottom of the frosted edge as the "top".  The Artisan special stains system has a clip that attaches around the slide to allow reagents to pool onto the sections and incubate.  If the section is too close to the sides then these areas do not stain adequately.  Sometimes if the tissue section itself is very large this is unavoidable.  With automated coverslippers you must also consider placement of tissue to allow for proper coverage.

If I am cutting multiple unstained slides for subsequent testing I try to orient the tissue the same on each slide to facilitate the reading of these slides by the pathologist's

Since automation is becoming more and more a part of all Histology labs the demands of placement of the tissue on the slides varies for different instruments. Stainers, coverslippers and now with slide scanning as well. So I do not believe that there is a silver bullet answer.

Thanks for any ideas.                                     _______________________________________________
