[Histonet] HPV DNA Probe question

[Erin McCarthy via Histonet]

 I am curious what people are using for HPV probes. We recently stumbled
upon the fact that our current probe choice is RUO - to avoid a sticky
validation and LDT process I would like to replace that with an ASR or IVD
ideally. I cannot seem to find one, however. Additionally, our Pathologists
prefer HR and LR be run on separate slides instead of as a cocktail.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Re: [Histonet] best glass coverslipper

[Elizabeth Chlipala via Histonet]

I would second Terri's comments on the Sakura Glas coverslipper.  I do have to 
stress that yearly PM's are very important and that there is daily maintenance  
that needs to be done in order for the instrument to function properly, we also 
only use 24x50's.

Subject: Re: [Histonet] best glass coverslipper

I've had experience with several glass coverslippers over the years.  While 
I've not tried the newest/latest/greatest of other brands, I've been running 
the Sakura Glas coverslipper for 8 years without a hitch.  It has been very 
dependable, with little downtime, and extremely easy maintenance.  We have 
averaged less than 1 service call per year since purchase, outside of the 
annual pm.  At the time we purchased it, it had the shortest set up and routine 
maintenance of the 4 big players that we tried.  It is definitely a more 
sensitive system than the tape. All glass systems are less forgiving of 
technical error than tape, but the results are fabulous.  We coverslip using 
only 24 X 50, so avoid the hassles of changing sizes.  
I hope this will help.  Sincerely, Terri

From: "Cooper, Brian"  Hey Histonet!

What's the best automatic glass coverslipper out there?  I only have experience 
with the Sakura tape slipper, which is AWESOME, but alas, we can't get one 
here.  Space is definitely an issue; would love to hear your experiences!

 Thank you Lester, this is a great middle ground! As someone who was a
little put out by your totally off-topic emails, I am totally OK with you
promoting your blog post inside a legitimate histonet post.

Good luck with your issues.
