[Histonet] Histonet Digest, Vol 144, Issue 17 Topic 4

Wed Nov 18 17:17:20 CST 2015

Amy,

>From what I have gathered From the OSHA site, The Global Harmonized System (GHS) only requires Manufactures and Importers
to use the Pictograms. The labels NFP and HMIS do not appear to need these according to the web site. This change is mostly for the US
Chemical manufactures and Importers  to more Universal with the rest of the world.

We should use make sure that we have the current SDS for each Reagent you use.

sorry I cant be more help, we are also struggling with the changes. I am certain
that in a couple years the inspectors will make a note of mentioning how they want
us to meet the guidelines.

Our policy calls for handwriting slides, then applying printed labels at the completion of the stain/coverslip.

Need opinions on this matter.
What is the back up plan in your institution, for slide printers and
cassette printers?   Are you going back to handwriting slides and putting
a label or using  xylene resistant labels directly on to your slides.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have a processing cycle that is good for fatty tissues like breast that they would be willing to share?  This will be used on a VIP5.

Thank you in advance

Allison

Hello histonetters, I asked this same question about a week ago and got one response hoping to get a little more this time:

Chemicals from the manufacturer should be labelled with Pictograms, Signal word, Hazard and Precautionary statements, Product identifier and supplier identification.  If you transfer these chemical into another bottle how are you getting all this new info onto the secondary bottle??  Are you creating your own label?  Does the manufacturer send extra labels for this purpose?

Thanks again for your help,
