[Histonet] A moment of thanks

[Cates, Julia]

Good Morning Histonet!

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to all of my colleagues on histonet. You are an invaluable resource in a world that is spread-out and I treasure the ability to reach out to you when I have a problem.

Case and point,  I have been struggling with a H&E problem for months.  When looking at the slide, you would think the problem was a cutting artifact.  I had a service technician go over the microtome multiple times with minimal resolution.
The second part of the problem is that the issue was intermittent.  Anyone troubleshooting knows how confounding this can be!  After exhausting all cutting possibilities, I started looking at the stainer. That is where histonet came on to the scene.  I searched hoping to find someone who had had the same problem or similar and sure enough I found it.  One response from Tim Morken has solved my issue and I can't thank you enough.

I will say that this is also an important lesson for me as well.  I should have reached out sooner for help.  I wouldn't have had to struggle or put my pathologist through looking at garbage slides.  Lesson learned.

Anyway, my thanks again to you all!

Thanks,

Julia Cates, HT(ASCP)cm
