[Histonet] Porcine Hemagglutinating Encephalomyelitis Virus IHC

[Histonet] bar-coding
Does anyone have SoftPath 4.2? If so, do you know if it has the capability to produce bar-coded specimen labels? I am looking into various methods to reduce re-entry of case data and eliminate handwriting of cassettes and slides. I know Ventana's Vantage system can do this for histology, but we also have cytology processing in our lab. I would like to find something that would be uniform for both cytology and histology processing and interface with SoftPath. However, if SoftPath could do this, even better. Thank you in advance for any input.

We use a modified Gomori's one stepwith excellent results on frozen muscle. You can find the protocol in Muscle Pathology and Histochemistry, Harvey Sarnat. It is an excellent stain...and if you have a limited amount of tissue, it gives you the most information on a single slide(and if the tissue was quickly... and properly frozenwill include fiber typing). -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of histonet-requ...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2010 1:28 PM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: Histonet Digest, Vol 79, Issue 13 Send Histonet mailing list submissions to histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to histonet-requ...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu You can reach the person managing the list at histonet-ow...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of Histonet digest...

[Histonet] Certification
I am in Kansas City, MO and I am in the process of getting enrolled with Indiana State University to obtain my HT certificate. Does anyone out there know if #1. It is a requirement in Missouri to have either a license or certificate to cut permanent slides? #2. Are there any other schools that offer the HT certificate training course that is a distance learning class and enrolls any time other that Fall. As it stands now I will have my prerequisits done at the end of next fall but will not be able to start the Indiana State University class until the Fall of 2011. The doctor I am working with now would like me to be able to become certified or licensed before then so I can cut permanent slides. Currently I am cutting MOHS tissue only.

Re: [Histonet] Certification
Hello, I enrolled in the online HT program through Harford Community College in Maryland. It is completely online. You do have to send in sample slides / blocks / special stains, but you complete all tests and such online through blackboard (which I also used in college, you my be familiar with that). When I enrolled it was a rolling continuous enrollment, and suggested completion time was 10 montsh but it was completely go at your own pace. Hope this helps. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions. You also need to have a certified mentor, so hopefully your lab has an ASCP certified tech.

Causal agent - a neurotropic coronavirus of young pigs; characterized by vomiting and wasting disease and/or motor disorders (incoordination, convulsions ) due to acute encephalomyelitis (which can lead to death within days).

RE: [Histonet] bar-coding
We have SoftPath 4.3 out print servers use version 4.2. We have Leica's IPC and IPS cassette and slide printers and print all our cassettes and slides (we print directly to the slides and do not use paper labels), including ThinPrep slides for the Imager. Leica's application specialists got with SoftPath and got it all working. We have no issues and are printing slides with 2d barcodes. The bar-coded slides work well on the BondMax IHC stainer and we are working on an interface for the Dako Artisan Link. It's all been working well for us. What kind of slide and cassette printers are you using or considering using?
