[Histonet] New Artisan Gram stain kits

[Anne]

Hello there you awesome group of histo gurus...
We have been running the new improved Artisan Gram kits.
They say to use the standard on board staining protocol. This gives us no gram+ 
orgs. 
We reset the CV to its max. Still no blue. 
We used the same new kit reagents manually with the same instrument timings. 
Perfect results!!
Tried to decrease the on board decolorisation step. Nothing. 
So for now we do them all manually. 
Hope someone out there has some wise words for me. 
Greetings from the sandpit
Annie (still from, but not IN, Africa)

Karla, the thing is, they may be called "IVD" under FDA nomenclature,  but they 
are not all FDA "approved." Class I exempt antibodies  (the vast majority) 
don't need FDA "approval" because they are ancillary tests used in conjunction 
with other tests to arrive at a Dx.  Only stand-alone tests like ER, Pr, Her2 
and EGFR are in Class II and require FDA approval.

An FDA certified company can list any antibody (except the stand alones) as IVD 
Class I simply by submitting a list to FDA. The company must have FDA approved 
quality controls in place and follow a slew of regulations to do so, but it is 
simply a paperwork exercise after that. 

So, the disclaimer you mention says that the antibody in question is not FDA 
approved, but is not required to be FDA approved. The CAP and ASCP suggested 
this disclaimer so that customers would be made to understand that although the 
tests are not under FDA approval it does not mean they are not valid tests.

RE: [Histonet] RE: FDA Disclaimer

[Joelle Weaver]

Tim has aleady supplied alot of information here.  When I needed the 
disclaimer, I used the language and wording  directly from the ANP checklist 
placed in quotations within the reports when I put together the basic templates 
in LIS. Depending on your system, you might be able to link it to the test 
mneumonic or other means to drop it in automatically when this test is ordered 
or reported in the final pathology report.

I don't think the ideal exists. Anything that is flat is going to have some

We have a vinyl tile floor that has a grid pattern embossed into it - 1" 
squares. It is pretty much non-slip, but wax cannot be scraped off easily 
because of the embossed indentations. We need housekeeping to do some serious 
machine stripping and rewaxing every two weeks to clean it.

[Jorge A. Santiago-Blay]

Dear Histoneters:

If Gram stains are not always working consistently: how likely is it that
crystal violet has gone "bad". My first suspect is the decoloration step,
then age of the culture, then thickness of the smear.  However, I do not
want to disregard any possibility, such as bad reagents. Please, email any
feedback directly to me, blayjo...@gmail.com.

Cheers and gracias,

Jorge

[Histonet] Floor Tiles

[Lester Raff MD]

Our entire lab, including histology, has linoleum flooring. We cover
areas with non-skid mats as necessary. 

 

We will be renegotiating our lease shortly and are considering having
the building management company replace the flooring. Are there are any
recommendations for a superior, non-slip, easy to clean and maintain
flooring for the lab, particularly histology?

 

Thanks,

RE: [Histonet] Mohs

[Anne Murvosh]

On fatty tissue, especially cheeks. After we mount on a slide we spray the 
tissue with liquid nitrogen and let sit to freeze before embedding for a couple 
of minutes.  Than after embedding spray the chuck again with liquid nitrogen.  
On really fatty stuff you may have to freeze before cutting each time. Time 
consuming yes.  But I find freezing and let sitting I don't fight with it as 
much when cutting.  Anne

Hello I perform mohs cutting a few days a week and I noticed that on fatty skin 
tissue I don't get the interior of the skin section. I only seem to get the 
epidermis. Is there a trick to getting the fatty tissue too. I tried bumping up 
the microns but that only helped a bit.
Thanks for your responses.

[Histonet] Light/Heavy chain Myosin to differentiate Type 1 vs Type 2 muscle fibers

[Sebree Linda A]

Good morning Histonet,

We are looking for a reference lab to send FFPE slides to for the above 
antibody(ies).  We sent out for this test several years ago  but of course at 
that time our records were very rudimentary, i.e. log books,  so difficult to 
go back and search through.  Hope someone knows something to help us.


Thanks,
