Subject: [Histonet] IHC Control Slide Longevity
Hello all,
                Do any of you have to cut any of you antibody controls
"fresh"? We currently cut the MUM-1 fresh, and the Synaptophysin. (We
seldom do a Syanpt., and have found the fresh cut patient tissue has been
positive while the not-so-fresh positive control slide is negative.
                Any comments are - as always, are appreciated.
Cheers,
Sandy

Another one!!!
Our Her2 antibody dispenser failed, LOT #E22628
This one "supposedly" FDA approved.
Roche, why do you continue to lie to consumers of your product?  You claim
you've "fixed" the problem but your Ventana dispensers DON'T WORK!
This is patient care!  Why don't you care about the customers and patients
you are supposed to be serving????
Shame on you.

Hi Histoland,
        I am biting my tongue HARD and just letting you know so it doesn't
happend to you. I just got off the phone with Roche here is the heads-up.
If one of their anitbody dispensers fails DO NOT put the antibody in one of
their prep kits, as soon as you do they consider it off label use.
Call customer service immediately and have them overnight a replacement!

Hi Sandy,

We cut CD31, CD45, CD45RA, CD117, CD204, and MUM1 controls fresh (same
morning as staining; case material as well).

We've never had any problems with Synaptophysin; it's always worked very
well on unstained controls that are up to a year old (stored in the fridge).

Best regards,
Jan

Subject: [Histonet] Surepath stains
Hello-
This is regarding Surepath pap stain processing on the BD Totalys.
We switched to the new Totalys in late November and are having a lot of
staining issues.
We have had many visits with field service.
Is anyone using this and having issues with inconsistent staining?
Thank you for your consideration,
Nancy
