Hello,

We received some liver tissue (Mouse) in 10% formalin (NFB). Then transferred to 70% ETOH. My question is  that, Is it ok to transfer  to 30% sucrose? So, frozen section can be perform. Please advise.

Thanks,
Bryan S.

Hi all,
We received some old slides (1997-1998) that were coverslipped with film. Sakura I would imagine. The issue here is that the coverslips have come up from the slide and the tissue is adhered to the back of the coverslip. They need to be recovered so they can be evaluated. What do you all recommend? We use the CV5030 for coverslipping. I tried one with xylene and mounting media but there were still a couple of air bubbles in there.
Thanks,
Bernice

Remove the film coverslip by placing the slide in acetone for a few minutes. Then recoverslip the slide with your current method.

Alternative, cost-effective fungus-staining method for control slides in cytology and histopathology.
da Silva VD1.
Author information
Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To develop a cost-effective, reliable and safe method of providing fungal control slides for routine use in pathology laboratories.
STUDY DESIGN:
A set of easily available, low-cost material was tested to obtain fungal colonies on substrate adequate for paraffin-embedded sections or smears.
RESULTS:
Such material as cheese is a simple, inexpensive and practical culture medium for silver-positive fungi. A batch of paraffin blocks can be prepared to maintain a stock of control material in the laboratory.
CONCLUSION:
It is useful to maintain fungal colonies to produce staining control specimens using small pieces of refrigerated cheese to easily produce silver-staining control specimens or smears embedded in paraffin, reducing the risk of accidental exposure to potentially infective pathogens in the laboratory. This method might also be a good alternative for conserving routine surgical specimens, considering the currently decreasing numbers of necropsy and large specimens, particularly from immunosuppressed and infected patients.

The notion of plastic forceps is new to me. Where did Justine find it? Nothing in any variant of the Masson procedure should be adversely affected by moving slides with stainless steel forceps. Is there a commercial campaign to sell plastic tweezers to Histonetters?

Have you done this? Acetone does not dissolve resinous mounting media and allow removal of coverslips. It's all in the books; buy one.

Hi
We re-Coverslipper a number of sections which had peeled off on the tape as the tape dried and curled. We cut off excess tape using scissors; placed a fresh coverslip flat; put a streak of mounting medium on he coverslip; use a forceps to orientate the tissue + margin of tape; number a slide, dip it in Xylene & place on a slope & bring on top of coverslip-section-mounting medium; turn the slide-section- coverslip to face coverslip up; leave horizontal to dry (eg overnight). Worth a try, doing one first.

To John
Probably the writer is referring to slides "mounted" with the Sakura film??"coverslip".I have done it many times and the FILM will??detach easily from the section.Had it been a glass coverslip attached with, for example, Permount, acetone would not have done anything.Ren?? J.??

Hi Bernice,
I have found that if you flood the slide with mounting media (don't use xylene) flip the slide over onto an absorbent lab wipe and put a heavy weight with even pressure and leave for a few hours. If the slide sticks to the wipe just put a few drops of xylene to clean up the slide. You may still have some tiny bubbles but it is much better than the alternative. Good luck.
