Hi Kevin,
I currently have the Leica IPS and IPC labeling system. There are some definitely pros/cons:
Pros:
Great for high volume
Has convenient tray loading attachment (optional)

Cons:
Takes up a lot of space
Very particular for type of slides used (may be a issue for cost saving purposes)
High costs for service plans, would have to compare prices to other models (pm's, maintenance etc)
Cassettes sometimes create static through the printer and prevent from ejecting out resulting in jamming

I have used this system in a low volume and high volume lab. They haven't given me too much trouble. The problems I have stated I have encountered within the 3 years I have been working with them.

Let me know if you need more information!

Hi Group: 
            Looking for opinions on cassette and slide labellers?? If you are using one please let me know the make, model and what you think of the machine, good or bad. Thanks in advance for all your input.

Sandy, we have various protocols, some that have unstained between those to be stained. However, we have moved away from having "extras" cut "just in case" because we had thousands of unstained slides stored that were never used. After a few months they may be unreliable for staining.

We tend to take extras between levels especially on scant or needle biopsy
tissue.  We do waste several thousand slides per year, but by doing this it
allows us to give the pathologist several representative sections and also
save tissue for future IHC and special stains.

Be careful: HIER may expose not only extracellular amyloid plaques but also intracellular APP ( or...is it intracellular A beta ???? ;-))
Eg:  with 6E10.... it is directed against an epitope found in APP and also A beta: if you do Formic acid, only extracellular plaques are positive...after HIER, there is also intracellular positivity.
In my experience.

Sandy,

I don't think it is a "standard" procedure.  However, our pathologist will
frequently ask us to keep intervening levels for possible IHC on certain
cases that are small or where the tumor is about to be exhausted.  We are a
dermatopathology lab.  When it is requested, we cut the whole case on a
clean waterbath, using distilled water and no additives, on plus slides.
The routine H&E's are stained normally and the other slides are dried and
held for possible immunos.

Interesting....we see APP on frozen sections with 6E10, but not in paraffin sections after citrate HIER. We use the monoclonal from Covance, 1:12000 overnight at 4C.

I think it depends on what the specimen is. All of the places Ive worked have always kept extras(levels) on sentinal nodes for keratins, also for prostate needle biopsies for p63/504s or other IHC's. 
 
Really doesnt it come down to what the Pathologist needs to make a diagnosis for the patient? 
 
I know it's a pain to cut so many levels and save them. Its also costly. But trust me, none of that is as bad as the sinking feeling you get when a biopsy has been exhausted and they need more stains :(
 
Hope this helps. Just my 2 cents worth.......

Histonetters,

 

Is anyone out there using the EBER ISH probes from Ventana on the Ultra
Platform?  I have a few questions.  Did you need to get new software
installed?  Was there any training involved?  And do you have successful
protocols that you are willing to share?

 

I have asked the questions before, but at the time there was nobody actually
using it.  I know that there were inquiries about the protocols because of
the ASR status and the fact that Ventana cannot give  you any advice.

 

Any and all information would be greatly appreciated since we are wanting to
start it up at our facility.

 

Thanks,

Sheila

Is there anyone who is doing myc, Bap1, Pten, or CD123 for dermpath
specimens, and who is your vendor?  Do you like the products, and what
platform are you using?

 

Thanks for any information you may have.  These are new requests from our
pathologist.

 

Sheila
