[Histonet] Histopalooza III Georgia Society for Histology

[Zimmerman, Billie via Histonet]

TGIF !!
Today's featured speaker is Vinnie Della Speranza.  Vinnie will be presenting a 
day and a half workshop for those folks seeking HT/HTL certification.  The 
notes say not for the faint of heart.   Come well rested and with a supply of 
your favorite energy drink.  My favorite energy drink is Apothic Red but not 
sure if that would fly with Vinnie. What rhymes with Friday? Wine
Seriously, two people from our hospital attended this class last year  and both 
passed the HT test with flying colors recently.  It's not the kind of test that 
you can just wing it with cramming the night before the test. After the 
intensive boot camp class with Sarge Vinnie, you can relax at the Legacy Lodge. 
 It's a beautiful getaway. See you next month and don't forget your combat 
boots if you're taking Vinnie's class.

Respectfully,
 Billie Zimmerman MT(ASCP)QIHC

Re: [Histonet] Cryostat with UV disinfection

[Terri Braud via Histonet]

For those of you that are CAP accredited, and use a cryostat with UV 
disinfection, how do you get around the CAP requirement listed below? We were 
told the UV disinfection did not replace wiping down with a tuberculocidal 
disinfectant at room temp. Do you have an approved tuberculocidal disinfectant 
that will work at cryostat temps?  Curious minds would like to know!  
ANP.23410   Cryostat DecontaminationPhase II
There is a written procedure for the decontamination of the cryostat at defined 
intervals, and under defined circumstances, and decontamination records are 
evident.
NOTE:  The cryostat must be defrosted and decontaminated by wiping all exposed 
surfaces with tuberculocidal disinfectant. The cryostat should be at room 
temperature during decontamination unless otherwise specified by the 
manufacturer. This should be done at an interval appropriate for the 
institution; this must be weekly for instruments used daily. Trimmings and 
sections of tissue that accumulate inside the cryostat must be removed during 
decontamination. Although not a requirement, steel mesh gloves should be worn 
when changing knife blades.

[Histonet] PAS Question

[Marcum, Pamela A via Histonet]

We have a problem with the cell membranes separating on our bone marrow slides 
on our PAS slides done daily.  We have tried everything to fix this and stop 
the problem.  We have tried manual staining, bulk staining on the Leica Stainer 
and the Dako Artisan and all have the same problem.  I am at a loss and the 
only thing left is the temperature of oven we dry slides in set at 65C.  We do 
up 38 bone marrows every night so this is critical for us.  If anyone can help 
please give us advise.

Pam

Re: [Histonet] Leica ASP6025 Tissue Processor and Cryostats

[Normington Lacy via Histonet]

Our laboratory has two Leica CM1950 cryostats in our frozen section area.  
Pro's:  1) quality and reproducibility of frozen sections have drastically 
improved  2) ease of use when using Peter's method of embedding  3) UV 
disinfection, saves many hours  4)  easy to use  5) optional vacuum system  
Con's: 1) specimen discs are not interchangeable with other models and are 
somewhat expensive  2)the vacuum can sometime clog

Overall we are extremely happy with the CM1950s.

So we actually have a Leica CM1950 in our Histo Lab, as well as a Fisher NX70 
Cryostar in our Frozen Section Room in the OR.  They are both excellent 
cryostats (I actually learned how to cryosection on the Leica).  When we were 
in the market for a new Cryostat a year ago, we went with the NX70 because of 
the ergonomic flexibility and cold disinfection--both really cool (ok, pun 
truly wasn't intended there) features!  Check em both out, and see all the cool 
bells and whistles.

Good luck!

Could anyone who is using the Leica ASP6025 Tissue Processor please send me

Also, which of the Leica cryostats you like the most?  We want the vacuum and 
UVC disinfection models.  Pros and cons...
