[Histonet] Cytology CSF Cell Pellets made from Histogel

[Turner, Leandra]

Hello Everyone,

    I am trying to find out a few of things about making cell pellets on
cerebrospinal fluids.  I would like to know: 

 

     1. If anyone has ever made cell pellets from CSF's using Histogel
and has any tips or procedures they could share?

 

     2. How to process the CSF pellets made with Histogel, do we need a
routine or stat process?  (we use a Sakura Tissue Tek)

 

     3. Can you do IHC staining on the pellets?

 

 

Thank you for any and all help in advance.
