RE: [Histonet] Hemoglobin Stain
Hi Linda, Thanks for the reply! No, I'm not limited to staining only. In fact, I will be performing some seperate IHC to demonstrate a couple of other proteins. It is simply my preference to use a histochemical technique for the following reasons. Firstly, from what I understand, staining will not be as laborious as IHC nor as difficult/technical to obtain positive results. Secondly, as this is part of my Honours year project, I would like to try my luck with several different techniques, and hemoglobin is the only molecule from the products I am looking at for which a simple histochemical approach is possible. Again, any suggestions would be highly valuable.

[Histonet] Embedding multiple GI pieces on end in a paraffin block

Re: [Histonet] Embedding multiple GI pieces on end in a paraffin block
We regularly embed 6-12 pieces on end in one block without any special method. You just have to be quick... and don't leave the block on the cold plate very long... just touch the cold plate briefly while embedding the individual piece, then lift the block off the plate until you grab the next piece... repeat quickly and you'll run out of room in the mold before you'll have to worry about it hardening too much.

To all, OK, looks like most of you are saying the same thing-work fast! :o) I've printed out all of your replies and discussed them with the graduate student who needs this done for her thesis, and she agrees with me-it's just going to take practice. I'll try the cool slowly/work fast suggestions first and see how that goes, then see about the trick with the cucumber (which sounds really cool!), slowly edging the mold onto the cold plate as I go, and using sponges to help flip the samples on end (and not necessarily in that order). I don't want to try too many things at once, lest I drive myself nuts. The first batch of samples should be coming sometime next week. Wish me luck, and thanks for all your help!

RE: [Histonet] Cytology 100 slide limit
Victor, Rene is correct in stating that CLIA allows Gyn Liquid Based Paps to be counted as 1/2 slide. It gets tricky when you start mixing 1/2 slide counts and full slide counts in making sure the techs do not exceed 100 slides (or in the case of LBP's 200 slides). If you get a lot of FNA's the counts can go up very quickly. Most LIS systems can prevent Techs from exceeding their limit. I would check again to see why your LIS is not capturing the NON-Gyn slides. Another CAP and CLIA requirement is that each 6 months, the cytotechs are supposed to have a Competency Assessment where the Medical Director signs off on the maximum number of slides each tech is qualified to screen. This is the number that most labs place in the LIS as the max that particular tech can review. What LIS system do you have?

It was purchased from American MasterTech Scientific (item CPW04200E, and replacement blades item CPW04201P). We also have perforated anti-fatigue mats in aisles around the cutting stations which trap the wax and can be vacuumed/swept away when the mat is flipped. -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu]on Behalf Of Hartz, Rhonda SktnHR Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2010 12:42 PM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] Wax removal Hi everyone; This may seem like a insignificant question, but we consistently have issues with injuries to our maintenance staff from cleaning the wax off of our floors. Housekeeping has laid sticky layered mats all over our floors (like large mouse traps), which they peel off layer by layer as they become wax covered. Apparently these are very expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions?
