[Histonet] p16 from XT to Ultra

2014-08-28 Thread Davis, Cassie
Hi histoland,

 You guys were wonderful helping me with the MUM-1 on the XT a few 
months ago, I am hoping you can help me now. I am trying to optimize the p16 on 
the Ultra and having a little trouble. It is B-E-A-utiful on the XT but does 
not want to play nice on the Ultra. Any tips...Anyone?

[Histonet] p16 from XT to Ultra

2014-08-28 Thread Algeo, Lacie A
Hi Cassandra,
We started with the original recommended protocol from Ventana for the Ultra 
and tested at one incubation above and below.  Are you using iView or Ultra 
View detection?  We use the Ultra View.

Hello Histonetters!

I have subscribed to this message board for awhile and would first like to 
thank you for all of the helpful suggestions I have picked up just by reading 
the posts.
I am writing because we have an opening for a Histology Supervisor in our 
laboratory. This is at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) in 
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is a large and busy lab that services several 
hospitals in our system. Our hospital was ranked #12 nationally and #1 in 
Pennsylvania for 2014-5 by US News and World Report. We have recently undergone 
CAP inspection with no deficiencies cited and are seeking to strengthen our lab 
by staying current (or ahead of the curve) while keeping 40 or so pathologists 
happy at the same time. Given the size of the lab we have a laboratory manager 
who is currently doing yeoman's work in performing the work of both positions 
for now.
We are looking for a knowledgeable person who is independent and can work with 
and manage people. We also need a person who is open to innovations that may 
arise as a result of the forces that are impacting the way that pathology is 
practiced. I think this would be a challenging and satisfying position for the 
right person.
Pittsburgh has frequently been named as one of the best cities to live in the 
US, most recently by the Economist (excluding Honolulu!) and as a transplant 
from New Jersey who has lived here since 1977, I can vouch for the fact that it 
is a very enjoyable place to live regardless of whether you are young or old.
If you think this might interest you, or if you would like more information, 
feel free to contact either me or our lab manager Rachel Wall (wal...@upmc.edu) 
who is more familiar with the specifics of the day-to-day operations of the lab.
Look forward to hearing from you, and thanks!

[Histonet] Checklist light microscope repair

2014-08-28 Thread Jorge A. Santiago-Blay
Dear Histonetters:

Does anyone have (or know of) a a checklist for the repair of light
microscopes? I have been surfing the web the closest I see is something
like this:

http://www.flinnsci.com/teacher-resources/biology/microscope-maintenance-tips.aspx

I think a checklist would be a nice thing to have handy. If you can help,
please feel free to email me directly.

Gratefully,

Jorge

Does anyone use P/V on their biopsy runs on the Tissue-Tek VIP 5?  We're having

Check your protocol.  Heat  or temp is a factor and length of time in alcohol. 
We have P/V for the 10 % NBF and paraffin infiltration.
