[Histonet] Re: VCP-2001 cassette printer ink (UNCLASSIFIED)

Fri Apr 19 16:02:16 CDT 2013

UNCLASSIFIED
Wayne,

We have the VCP-3001 cassette printer and we buy the printer ribbon from Leica (800-225-3035).  The stock number is V0590001F and it cost us $83.35 per ribbon which we bought several years ago.  I don't know if it is the same one for your VCP-2001 but I'm sure when you call them, they can help you.

> After being well acquainted with the CAP question, in regards to decontamination of cryostats, I would like some feedback as to how some of you perform this function.
> The lower cost cryostats do not contain a fumigation cycle but instruct the user to use alcohol and/or some type of germicidal spray for decontamination. I am hesitant about this and wondering if I'm just "old school" believing in formaldehyde fumigation for eliminating Hepatitis, HIV, and TB. In the cryostat manual, there is no mention of fumigation and the cleaner they suggest is not sold in the United States. Thanks in advance for your help!

> Since silver substitutes calcium in the Von Kossa's technique, it can therefore be regarded as a histochemical test for inorganic phosphates rather than calcium (see Meloan & Puchtler (1985) J Histotechnol 8(1):11-13). 
> 
> Alizarin Red S for Calcium allows the direct demonstration of insoluble calcium cations where Alizarin Red S forms an insoluble orange red lake. The technique is made specific by pH control (Garvey et al 1989, J Histotechnol 12 (3):225-227). Alizarin Red S also forms lakes with other metals such as barium, aluminium, mercury and magnesium. Fortunately, the bright red colouration of calcium can be easily differentiated from the dark red of other metal-lakes.
