[Histonet] Lead ( #3 )

Tue Mar 17 12:40:42 CDT 2015

We have outfitted two labs with repurposed equipment that we purchased from Rankin.  When there has been a problem with any of the equipment, it has been taken care of quickly.  I'm not familiar with the other companies mentioned, but would recommend Rankin for your equipment needs.  Perhaps you could even work out a deal on the shipping all  the way North to Alaska??  Happy hunting.

> I send them without hesitation.  Ours is to assist the patient not get tangled up in regulatory bureaucracy.  Just as you wouldn't hesitate to send a subpoenaed block.  The point here is to KNOW where your blocks are when not on site. Yes we are custodians of blocks and slides, but you mustn't impede patient care.

> Bill is correct, CAP is actually the least of your worries.  There are many regulations about human tissue used in research (I do not know them all), but patient consent is essential and in some cases the patient must actually agree to the specific research project.  Here we have regulations about control block tissue that we use, we cannot get tissue directly from a local hospital.   Also the laws are different in each country.  There is a lot of bioethics involved.
