Hello,
We have been using this tissue processor for 1 year now. During the last
3-6 months, we have experienced an unreasonable number of cases reported
with tissue contaminant in paraffin blocks. We use regular tissue
cassettes as well as the biopsy and micromesh style. While using this
processor I have also witnessed tissue fragment into smaller pieces
while processing. Because the Peloris uses a relatively large magnetic
stirrer, I'm wondering if this could be a cause for the contaminant. Has
anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks

Wow, I feel like I'm listening to myself speak. We have the machine for about the same amount of time as yourself and yes we have had tissue contamination. I can't say it's super bad but we've had several cases recently where as before we rarely ever had it. Unfortunately I'm not sure what causes it and I think it got blamed on the grossing person or embedder in our cases. I'm interested to see what everyone has to say about this.

Try LSU-School of Veterinary Medicine, Hansens Disease Center. The center is a division of the CDC, and they may be able to provide blocks for controls. They actually did a lot of research on mycobacteria. When I worked at the Veterinary School, Hansen's would provide them as a service to the public. The contact person used to be Joe Allen.
Hope this helps.

As per NYS department of Health:
Questions have also arisen regarding the appropriate disposal of organs and
tissues which have been fixed for cytological and/or histological
examination. Since the fixatives are considered to be hazardous materials,
organs and tissues discarded with these chemicals must be processed as
hazardous waste, except for blocks of tissue in paraffin or similar
embedding materials. The latter prevent the fixatives from leaching into the
environment and the chemical fixatives destroy any potential pathogens in
the tissue block. Therefore, tissue blocks can be discarded as solid waste.

Hello Histonetters,
I need help. So I have used Pathlogix software for about 4yrs and I love
it. It so super simple and have never had any problems. Well, except for
one. The cost of leasing has increase by 19% each year for no apprearent
reason. We are now paying quarterly triple what we leased it for 4yrs ago.
The owner says cost are riseing due to the economy and prices are subject
to change without notice. Really! 19%. Cause im pretty sure thats bad
business and thats how you lose customer instead of keeping them. At any
rate, I need to find a new company. I have looked into a few systems but
the cost are hugh. We are a small derm lab with one reading physician and
im the only tech. So I do not need a large system. I need to be able to
generate path reports. Accession, create reports and logs for about 3000
specimen a year. I wish I could just purchase outright but will lease if
we have to. I havent had must luck at finding software for small labs
except Pathlogix. Love the software, not so fond of the company. Please
tell me what software is out there and If you guys like it.
Thank a million,
Nicole Tatum HT ASCP

Candice Camille asks about polyvinyl alcohol.
Some time ago when I was in the Army Reserve I completed a correspondence course for parasitology and it discussed PVA. I still have the manual. It states: "PVA is a mixture of fixative and water soluble resin that is specifically used to fix and preserve trophozoites of intestinal amoebic organisms. " Further on it states, " PVA is primarily used for preserving fresh specimens to be shipped to central laboratories". A formula is given. I can Fax it to you if you give me a Fax number.

Hi,
You could try Newcomer Supply.
http://www.newcomersupply.com/products-positive-qc-histopathology.php They
have an AFB control that they say has "Mycobacterium sp. Tuberculosis
positive and negative tissue in same section". That should work.

Subject: [Histonet] AP software
Hello Histonetters,
I need help. So I have used Pathlogix software for about 4yrs and I love
it. It so super simple and have never had any problems. Well, except for
one. The cost of leasing has increase by 19% each year for no apprearent
reason. We are now paying quarterly triple what we leased it for 4yrs ago.
The owner says cost are riseing due to the economy and prices are subject
to change without notice. Really! 19%. Cause im pretty sure thats bad
business and thats how you lose customer instead of keeping them. At any
rate, I need to find a new company. I have looked into a few systems but
the cost are hugh. We are a small derm lab with one reading physician and
im the only tech. So I do not need a large system. I need to be able to
generate path reports. Accession, create reports and logs for about 3000
specimen a year. I wish I could just purchase outright but will lease if
we have to. I havent had must luck at finding software for small labs
except Pathlogix. Love the software, not so fond of the company. Please
tell me what software is out there and If you guys like it.
Thank a million,
Nicole Tatum HT ASCP

Kimberly Artim, AST, HT (ASCP), Technical Coordinator, Anatomic
Pathology, St Lukes Hospital & Health Network, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
asks about a Fite control block.
Do you mean a block of tissue with Mycobacterium leprae?
It's preferable indeed to have lepra bacilli rather than tubercle
bacilli in the control, since the two organisms stain somewhat
differently. Obviously human tissue is extremely rare. Does anyone use
leprous armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) tissue as a control? Does
anyone know how to get it?
