[Histonet] revised Cap regulation ANP .21395 ??
Hello Histonetters, What is the take home message of this revision? How are other labs complying with respect to Special staining? Do you keep records of individual case control verification or just individual block verification? Does anyone run NEG controls for Special staining? Is this regulation requiring Neg Controls for special stains? Any thoughts are appreciated. " **revised** 08/17/2016 ANP .21395 Special Stains/Studies For special stains, including histochemical stains, and studies using immunologic and ISH methodology, positive and negative controls are verified and recorded as acceptable prior to or concurrent with the reporting of patient results and records maintained.

[Histonet] Syringe Pump error Ventana??
Does anybody know what the Syringe Pump is on the Ventana Benchmark Special Stainer?? What does it refer to in layman's terms? The operators manual is really vague, unless I missed a page?

[Histonet] histology AND incinerators?
Are any histology labs out there using incinerators for decontamination of lab forceps? We are setting up to begin using Germinator 500 at both gross and embed center, was wondering if any other labs have used this type of technology, any insights helps.

[Histonet] New Cap cross contamination at gross bench
Anyone out there see the new CAP requirement regarding cross contamination at gross bench and cleaning of forceps. How are other people planning to comply. My supervisor has instructed me to use a Germinatior 500 at gross bench and at Embedd center. I have no experience using these sterilizers but my initial thought is that I will need to be really careful not to inadvertently apply too much heat to the tissue. Any thoughts appreciated, Ryan Roy HTL (ASCP) Manchester VA Medical Center ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
Re: [Histonet] [EXTERNAL]
Hello, I wish you had contacted me a few months back. Management moved a tech over internally here. I will put you in contact with White River Junction VAMC . They may have a postion open. Also, I would check University of Vermont Med center;, Brattleboro Memorial hospital, Dartmouth Medical Center, Catholic Medical Center, Manchester. I know people at all these locations, often times a latent position (everyone knows about it ) won't post until a certain period so you wouldn' t know its there without asking. That said, Ill ask around.

[Histonet] Salutations from former GC histo sci student
Hello Kelli, You may remember me as one of your online graduates from the GC histological science program. How are you? For some reason I thought your involvement with the GC histo program had changed, but seeing your recent post to the histonet it appears your still the director of that program? I hope things are well. You were instrumental in helping me complete that program successfully and were also a good instructor. Ive been at the VA Manchester NH for 2 years now. I am the lone histotech here since the other technician left. Things are going great though we have a critical need for another qualified technician. Please let me know if any of your students especially those already holding a BS would be interested in employment at the VA Hospital in Manchester NH. I could certainly guide them through the application process.
