My first job was at a lab that did both human and animal (till a case got
mixed up)  the only difference I found was animals were fattier and hairier.
Same microtome.  Anne

Has anyone used the same microtome to cut animal tissue as well as human
tissue?  We are a hospital clinical Histology lab being asked to provide
research study slides from nonhuman sources.  Anyone have an input or
precedence?  I couldn't find anything that specifically prohibits this
practice from the CAP.  Thanks for the help in advance!!

I am validating IHC's. What is the CAP requirements regarding negative
slides. I've asked CAP but have not received a response.
Are 10 negative patient tissues ran for each antibody using the negative
protocol or are they ran using each antibody but also a known
Negative control ran using the negative protocol?
Thanks!

HI

Does anyone have any experience with the processing of cardiac leaflets, I
am finding they tend to curl and make orientation and embedding difficult.
I am now laying them flat between some foam and hoping that  this will work
as I am sure it is going into the wax that makes the leaflet curl  They look
fine as they come out of the last xylene before entering the wax.
Can one get wax that has a lower melting point than 55C
Any advice would be appreciated.

Karla,

We try to run 1/2 of the required cases with known negative cases and the
other 1/2 with known positive cases.  In addition, all cases are run with a
negative reagent control in place of the antibody using the optimized
protocol for the antibody.  These are your negative reagent controls.

Amber, at the risk of exposing my ignorance, doesnt AB&T and Vantage offer
very similar functionality?   I'm just curious why you would have both?

As to your question, if you have some validation process occurring at
grossing that requires information from your Copath system, then perhaps you
might want to use Copath at grossing.  For instance, if you scan
requisitions or manual drawings or anything of that nature and you require
those scanned images or other information to be verified at grossing, you
might want to use Copath for grossing IF that information is not being sent
across the interface from Copath to Vantage.

I hope Im making sense, but if not, please feel free to ask for
clarification.

 For those of you who have Vantage, in your grossing room do you have
Vantage set up or your LIS system?  I was thinking it should be vantage, but
our Co-path person said we should have AB&T set up in the grossing room and
let vantage start at embedding, microtomy and case assembly.  What are your
thoughts? Do you have a full computer, keyboard, and scanner in grossing?
Thanks!

Cerner Copath AB&T will not interact in a bi-directional way with a third
party tracking system (except to get "status" updates, ie when a block is
scanned at embedding Vantage will send a message to Copath to update the
block status). That is, you cannot enter a block or stain order in the third
party system and have the data be written back to the Copath database. You
must enter all in Copath and then the third party system picks it up from
there. That is why Copath was telling Anita that they would need to use
Copath alone at grossing (and accessioning, and all stain ordering). Also,
You must buy and install AB&T to use any third party tracking system (AB&T
is the HL7 interface).

Can anyone tell me why B-5 fixative is called "B-5"?

Does the  "B" stand for something, or does the "5" have a meaning?



Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

So AB&T is the actual interface, not their barcode and tracking system?

I understand about the ordering of blocks and stains, etc.
