Hi Guys,
            Please we are in the process of buying a new H & E Stainers and will appreciate it, if you guys could share your
experience(s) with me. The two stainers we are still looking at are stated below;

 1.  Symphony by ventana

 1.   TissueTek  Prisma(r)/Glas(tm) g2 Automated Slide Stainer and Coverslipper
Please let me know whether you guys have had any experience with either of the equipments or both.
Thanks,

We have the TissueTek Prisma minus the coverslipper connection and highly reccomend it.
(the coverslipper connection is on our budget request)

Hi Thomas,
I've see that Dako's DAB Away is composed of 1% Oxalic acid in water
instead other DAB Aways (like the one you are using) are composed of
sulfuric acid <10% in water.

I was wondering if other labs are "automatically" ordering special stains and/or IHC on stomach biopsies and esophageal biopsies?  Or do you wait until H&E is screened?  Thanks!

We have just discontinued this practice after Jane Pine Wood (renowned Healthcare Attorney and Medical Director for Palmetto Medicare Part B coving NC, SC, VA, and WV) stated "ordering special stains prior to review of the H&E stain is not reasonable and necessary".   According to the pathologist billing company ,there is in an article they have privy to with wording which threatens "additional action" taken for providers whose ordering of special stains exceeds the 20th percentile of Gastric Pathology cases.  For this reason we are now retro ordering special stains on gastric biopsies.  We are also looking at IHC necessity.

We bill all of the stomach HP, but we do not bill all of the GE specimens.

Hi All,

Just wondering how everyone is handling the new checklist question ANP. 21450?  How are you documenting results of verified special stain tissue blocks?

Thanks for any help,

You cannot go wrong with the Prisma.  I used that in another lab and it was wonderful.

The Ventana Symphony is undoubtedly the easiest stainer to use and maintain.  You will never have an employee put an incorrect reagent into a container, and direct to drain waste makes it an appealing option.  The H&E's are absolutely beautiful!  Symphony is finicky about certain things though--the type of alcohol you use, the humidity levels in your lab, and the unit just doesn't like charged slides.  Bubbles in coverslips and slides sticking together when filing may or may not be an issue.  That being said, I've used Prisma's predecessors (the DRS 2000) and, no matter what, those things NEVER failed.  We had three of them that ran 50-70 runs per day for around 10 years, and I can count on one hand the number of times they weren't functional.  These are open container stainers though, and do require diligent maintenance and reagent changes/rotations.  If you can handle that, I'd say go with the Prisma.

Thanks,

Brian
