Can anyone share their SOP regarding the handling of legal cases (I.e. if a specimen is being requested from an outside source which is not the patient).  Thank you, Ann

I actually attended a class they put on a few months ago where they used
Unitrieve.  It works really well.  It doesn't seem to produce any kind
of background and yes, it is used at much lower temps.  However the
retrieval process takes a little longer, but...you can put it in an even
lower temp. water bath overnight, come in to work in the morning, and
your slides are reading to go.
Contact Zara over there and she might be able to hook you up with a
sample.
Good Luck!!

Subject: [Histonet] Uni-trieve, antigen retrieval for immunofluorescence

Hello all,

Has anyone used the reagent 'Uni-trieve' from Innovex? It is purported
to
be a universal antigen retrieval solution that can be used at lower
temperatures (65-70 C for cytoplasmic antigens, and 75-80 C for nuclear
antigens):

http://innvx.com/unitrievepage.html

The company claims that the reagent is a universal retrieval solution
for
all antibodies and tissues (which is silly of course - how could they
know?). Does anyone have any experience with the product?

I am interested because I see that increased heat during antigen
retrieval
causes greater tissue autofluorescence during immunofluorescence
stainings. My current protocol is to use 20 minutes at 90-95 C on a hot
plate using sodium citrate buffer. Does anyone else either Uni-trieve or
a
different reagent/protocol for immunofluorescence stainings?

Thanks,

Andrea

We calculated that to be right around $4.05 per slide. That does not include labor.

We have performed lentiviral injections with a turboGreenFluorescentProtein
(tGFP) into the brains of rats for an RNAi experiment. We did not fix the
tissue but froze in isopentane on dry ice and stored the tissue at -80 deg
Celsius.

We want to use some sections for a reference of the injection site (GFP
fluorescence) relative to the brain morphology (Neurotracer staining) in
order to selecitvely laser microdissect (LMD) infected cells from other
sections.

Our initial studies showed that fixation of sections on slides in 4%
paraformaledhyde (PFA) at 4 deg C for 5 minutes provided tGFP flourescence
comparable to that found in perfused tissue, but lately we see very weak or
no fluorescence with this procedure, even when increasing the time.

The only difference I can think of that we saw best results soon after the
brains were removed (ie 1 to 2 weeks) and now we are having trouble
visualizing the tGFP ~2 months of the brains being stored at -80 degrees
celsius.

Does anyone have experience with or an explanation of fluorescence
decreasing with a frozen, unfixed GFP over time?

In the future we plan on doing these experiments including a perfusion with
a low conc of PFA (to preserve RNA integrity) but for now we are trying to
figure out how to identify the GFP-positive cells in the animals we have
already performed surgery on. Another option would anti-tGFP IHC, but we
would prefer at this point to use on slide-fixed sections as a references
for our LMD.

Thanks!  -Andrew

This is how we do it:
1- the person grossing will dictate how many pieces should go into each cassette
2- the person cassetting will check that information against the vial with the pieces and write down in the cassettes summary form the number of pieces
3- the person embedding checks the pieces in the cassette after processing against the cassettes log.
If any piece is missing between any two steps, it will be looked for. Sometimes is small and is in the vial before cassetting, or small and in the retort.
Any irregularity is documented in the QA log.

What procedures do you have in place to prevent tissue loss at embedding? What do you do if tissue appears to have been lost?

And do you clean embedding molds before each reuse, or after one-days use (which may be many re-uses)?


Thanks for all info!

I have worked at labs that reuse molds and ones that clean between uses.
Guess it all depends on what your definition of a "clean" mold is.  If you
have the time and space, not reusing the molds is best practice but not
always practical.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for the info! Have you used Unitrieve for immunofluorescence? I am
wondering whether I will see a reduction in the autofluorescence caused by
heating? I will request a sample to try and report back to all.

Can anyone recommend a good source for either used microscopes or an inexpensive brand? I'm looking for a basic inverted microscope for very basic cell counts, and quick looks for cell viability and health. This is very much a quick in and out scope for students to kick around and abuse. I'm purchasing a fluorescent microscope for more extensive needs. I've looked on ebay and a couple other places, but the market is inundated with scopes that it makes it difficult to figure out. 

Ideally, I'd love a recommendation for a basic used scope and maybe some names of reputable vendors of refurbished units.

Thanks,

Try eBay. I have seen good instruments for sale there.

Can anyone recommend a good source for either used microscopes or an inexpensive brand? I'm looking for a basic inverted microscope for very basic cell counts, and quick looks for cell viability and health. This is very much a quick in and out scope for students to kick around and abuse. I'm purchasing a fluorescent microscope for more extensive needs. I've looked on ebay and a couple other places, but the market is inundated with scopes that it makes it difficult to figure out. 

Ideally, I'd love a recommendation for a basic used scope and maybe some names of reputable vendors of refurbished units.

Thanks,

Caroline

Hi Histonetters
Are there any other controls for Napsin A other than Lung
adenocarcinoma?

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I had sent a note out to the group about a month ago inviting participants to take part in phone interviews to discuss Digital Pathology technology.  We are now following up those interviews with an online survey on the same subject.  We are particularly interested in individuals that work in high volume commercial or reference labs (i.e. process more than 100,000 slides a year, and process more than 5,000 IHC slides a year).  You do not have to be a current user of digital pathology to participate.  The survey will begin with a few questions to determine if you qualify for the survey.  If you qualify and complete the survey you will receive an honoraria in the form of a $50 American Express gift card for your participation.  All answers will remain anonymous.

The survey should take about 15-20 minutes to complete.

You can access the survey here:

http://www.keysurvey.com/survey/387885/297f/

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I've just "googled" and "histosearched" for Klotz solution but cannot
find anything that doesn't require chloral hydrate.  Has anyone made a
Big Breakthrough in making Klotz that can be made without that pesky
controlled substance?  Any help will be appreciated...who knew the
recipe joined the Witness Protection Program!

I am looking for a Certified ASCP HistoTech. that is local to the San
Francisco Bay Area.  I need this person to cover me while I am out
having knee surgery.  I will be out 2-6 weeks probably more like 4 weeks
starting October 5th.  But need somebody by October 3rd to do some
training.  

 

You will need to know IHC and Special stains and be able to work
independently because I am the Chief, Cook and Bottle washer here.  

 

Thanks,
