The US Department of Health and Human Services (sometimes
affectionately known as H2S) has released the 12th Report on
Carcinogens (RoC). The report lists formaldehyde as a definite human
carcinogen. The regulatory repercussions of this aren't immediately
clear, but I suspect pathologists will see
Hi,
Does anyone know of any decal solutions that are compatible with IHC, ISH, FISH
other than EDTA and solutions containing HCL ? We have heard that some people
use formic acid. Also, what would be the decalcification times for tissue such
as a bone marrow bx using these other solutions ?
Hello All.
We have recently aquired an 'oldish' AutostainerXL. It worked perfectly up
until the weekend, then the drive belt that lifts the robotic arm decided to
break! We are quite keen to find a replacement belt
as soon as possible.
I am asking if any of you Autostainer users have sources for

Hi,
I know this topic has been discussed time-to-time but I was just approached
with questions regarding the formalin cubes that are supplied to our OR and LD
departments.
OR has a small room where 2.5 gal. cubes are kept under a hood. They set on a
metal stand in a plastic tray. They would
Keeping formalin under a hood over a spill control pad is an acceptable
practice, but having a larger formalin container out of a hood and dripping to
a drain is totally unacceptable, more because it is an open container than
because of a small dripping to the sewer.

First, I would check with a Leica rep and see if he can help you. We have
ordered many replacement parts for our Autostainer XL (refurbished).

When taking coursework eons ago, one of my professors addressed this very
issue. He said that '-ic' and '-al' were BOTH adjective suffixes... and
there was no need to include both at the end of a noun to turn it into an
adjective (redundancy).
So 'anatomic' it is. And it follows that

Actually, it's period'-ic for the table - it is arranged in periods.
But it is per-io'dic for the chemical, which has nothing to do with

Neither, it is Pathological Anatomy because the anatomy becomes pathological
and that is what the pathologists study using our slides.

We fix our trephines in 10% formal alcohol overnight and decal for 6 hours in

Excellent morphology and good antigen preservation.
