   Fortunate  enough  to  purchase and use several TEM and SEM's over the
   ye= ars, I always found Zeiss to have the best prices and products for
   TEM  and  =  Hitachi  for  the SEM's. Last one I bought was 200K plus.
   Good  Luck  and=  let  me know if you know of anyone looking for an EM
   tech in the dc area.

     To everyone in histoland,
     This  is  my  last  full week= at work. From next Tuesday I will be
     retiring
     rom  my job at Cambridge U= niversity. I have thoroughly enjoyed my
     chosen
     rofession  as  a research t= echnician specialising in histology. I
     realise
     hat  because  I  have  always=  worked in research my experience is
     somewhat
     imited:  I  haven't  been  ask= ed for the same range of techniques
     that you
     ind  in  a  routine clinical l= ab. However, I have enjoyed my work
     and have
     earnt  and  devised  some  tech=  niques for a range of interesting
     samples.
     ow it's time to learn somethi= ng new!
     I hope to spend more time with my lace pillow and learn to = do it
     roperly, maybe learn to do Northamptonshire lace which I believe i=
     s a
     ariation  on Bucks point. (I come originally from Northants) I have
     h= ad
     go  at  Bedfordshire and will learn more, it is very pretty. I also
     pla= n
     o travel; my next trip is to New Zealand in November.
     I  won't  =  go on. I just want to say this: You are all great guys
     and
     irls;  you  sha=  re  your  experience  and  friendship  with great
     generosity,
     hich  I have alw= ays felt is what a scientist should do. Thank you

     Allison Scott after a flash fire with the stuff asks a= bout
     alternatives to 2-methylbutane for freezing specimens.
     There=  is indeed a safe alternative, though I haven't had a chance
     to
     try  it. = I've posted about it on Histonet more than once - here's
     a
     copy of an ea= rlier post of mine:
     3M(tm) Novec(tm) Engineered Fluid HFE-7100
     Th= is product belongs to a class of fluorocarbons called
     "segregated hydrof= luoroethers (HFE's)"
     According to various MSDS, HFE-7100 is
     methyl no= nafluoroisobutyl ether
     C4F9-O-CH3
     It melts and freezes at -135 C, so = that it would remain liquid in
     the
     Histobath. (It would freeze solid in = liquid nitrogen, however.)
     It  boils at 60 C., and is listed as non-flamm= able. It has almost
     no
     vapor pressure at freezing temperatures.
     It co= st around $230 a gallon a few years ago.

     Hi Wassan,
     you  may  depart  the  FISH procedure in a tissue-d= ependant first
     part and a
     probe-dependant second part.
     The  first  part=  comprises  the  pretreatment  of  the  tissue to
     retrieve and
     permeabilises = it. The amount of pretreatment is dependant on the
     fixation-duration of = the tissue.
     The  longer  the  fixation  -  the  higher the temperature of the =
     buffer, the
     longer  the  incubation  time  in  the  buffer, the longer the inc=
     ubation time in
     the protease.
     Troubleshooting in this part:
     To=  o  low  temperature  of  some  slides  because of inconsistent
     temperature in
     =  the  waterbath.  Tissueslides  mounted  on  the  glass-slides in
     different
     hei= ghts.
     Too short protease-incubation in relation to the fixation time. Us=
     ually
     nuclei can be digested until you see the first tiny holes. Underdi=
     gested
     nuclei are dense and look grey in the triplefilter.
     If  the  nuc= lei are overdigested, they get bigger holes and fuzzy
     borders.
     Different= staining results due to variing fixation-times.
     The second part= comprises the stringent wash. The temperature,
     buffer-quality,  duration=  are  probe-depending  and  are  usually
     provided in the
     kit-handbook.
     Troubleshooting second part:
     Too high temp leads to loosing the bound = probe.
     Too  low temp leads to high background because of unspecifc bound =
     probes.
     With  your  problem I would try to prolong the digestion in 10= min
     steps,
     until a good result is found.
     Hint:  standardization  of  fi= xation is the crucial point. In our
     lab the
     tumor-block  is  immediately f= ixed in a cassette as a FISH-block.
     So it will
     be  fixed  very  well  and  wi=  thstands  the harsh treatment. The
     disadvantage is
     stronger autofluoresce= nce.
     A  further  hint:  be  sure,  that  the gum around the coverslip is
     harde= ned
     before starting the hybridizer-protocol. 10 min drying time.
     = I hope this helps

     Hello Histonetters
     What  is  everyone using to decal speci= mens. I haven't had to use
     it in a few
     years,  before  that  I just purchas= ed formic acid and made a 10%
     solution.
     Just  wanted  to  see if the criter= ia has changes over the years.
     Thanks in
     advance for the responses.

     For  tissues containing bone, or bone specim= ens I always used the
     commercial brand RDO.
     For bone marrow biopsi= es I used EDTA (prepared in the lab).

     Does  anyone  have  any  suggestions  on p= ower supply back-up for
     Leica  ASP  300?  We are an independant lab and = are not hooked up
     to back-up if we have an outage.  Thought it might b= e a good idea
     :)
     
     Thanks.

     Hi Histonetters,
     We  are  interesting  in doing imm= unostain on ferret tissues that
     have  been  fixed  in formalin and embedded in= paraffin. I am just
     wondering  if  anyone used this antibody in their lab, i= f so, can
     you  please share with us your staining protocol? antigen retrieva=
     l protocol as well?
     Your help will be very much appreciated.
     Thank yo= u

     We  are  in  the  market  to  purchase  a= new TEM. Our old Hitachi
     instrument  is  31  years  old  and is getting tired. = The use for
     transmission  em  in  pathology has somewhat diminished in our hos=
     pital  environment. We still however use TEM routinely on all renal
     biopsies=  and  nerve  biopsies.  Has  anyone priced TEM scopes for
     pathology  usage  latel=  y.  In  the past there have not been many
     options  for  a  TEM  that was for path= ology usage verses one for
     research.  Can  anyone steer me in the right direc= tion. Of course
     cost  has  become  a major issue also so we are trying to make= the
     best choice for our usage.
     Thanks
