I've found, that kappa and lambda mRNA CISH is reliable for specimen decalcified with 5-10% formic acid. Decal with harsher acids like hydrochloric acid should be validated, because any acid will cause degradation of nucleic acids. We use the CISH kit from Zytovision.

RE: [Histonet] Frozen sections
Chatter can also be caused by your blade angle. Try making the angle more obtuse, just don't over do it or you will get venitian (sp?) blind. The temperature is also a little cold. Try putting your thumb on the chuck, on top of the tissue, for a few sections before cutting and see if that helps any. If the tissue is necrotic, it's kind of like fat...not much you can do? Good Luck!!

I prefer not so cold (like -23 to -24) and I cut sections at 4, 5 , and even 6 to see if it would help... still chatter! The pathologist said it looked all necrotic-like!!

[Histonet] Tissue Processors
Hello All, I am in the process of developing the Histology budget for next three years. There have been some positive posts about a few processors recently; but if there are more opinions out there (and I know that there are) please let me know. At NSH I had the opportunity to view and hear about the most of the tissue processors on the market. There are several features that I need to consider price, reliability, ease of use/maintenance, timely and quality service, and processing TAT, just to name a few. Fellow Histology professionals you can email/contact me directly and your input is greatly appreciated.

[Histonet] Plain Vanilla Autostainer?
I am a simple man in a simple lab with simple needs. I work in a multiple-lab research environment, typically providing paraffin/frozen sections + HE to individuals who then perform their own manual IHC. A simple man, yes, but also a busy man, who needs to be freed from staining dishes in order to pursue other tasks. What we need: (1) Deparaffinization only; (2) Deparaffinization -- HE; (3) HE only system, preferably with (4) a relatively small, preferably benchtop footprint (current unit lives in a 30 X 33 X 34 vented workstation). Automatic coverslipping extremely optional. What we have: Thermo Shandon Varistain 24-4, which performed these mundane tasks admirably until going electronically insane. It's been denied a service contract, the production line has been discontinued and the writing is on the wall. What seem to be available: Special staining systems with a whole lot of bells and whistles, designed primarily for a high-throughput hospital setting. Is there anything out there that would serve my needs, even if it is a fancy system that would be slumming it here? Or is mine just too obsolete a market? Price up to $15K, slightly negotiable.

RE: [Histonet] Cassette Marking
Yes, that's the reason we chose pencil's. We would have so many different marking pens around, some would wash off or smudge. One of the bad ones would end up in a drawer and get used later on down the line giving us a major headache. So pencil it is if we ever needed to. We have a cassette marker. But if it broke the handy dandy pencil would be our sure known tool of choice.

[Histonet] Autofluorescence and literature for getting rid of the problem
Richard, You will find what you need in a free pdf on autofluorescence from Wright Imaging Facility in Toronto Canada. They have a website, then download Autofluorescence: Causes and Cures. Also, if you can't get rid of autofluorescence , use a near infrared fluorophore e.g. Alexa 750. There is no autofluorescence seen in the NIR range. Just Google the title and it will come up instantly. They also have a pdf on Mounting Media for fluorescence work. For the little FFPE fluorescent work we do, you can try 100 to 300 mM glycine in TRIS buffer pH 7.4 for 20 to 30 minutes before embarking on immunostaining. Glycine binds free aldehydes to reduce the autofluorescence but doesn't always work 100%. It may reduce the problem but not totally eliminate it. There are other references on getting rid of autofluorescence, one for GFP, a review, but it applies to FFPE tissue even not containing GFP. I will be happy to send the pdf if you wish. Gayle M.

Re: [Histonet] Cassette Marking
I'm somewhat surprised that many labs are still handwriting blocks and slides. If you are using a LIS, can it integrate printing blocks and slides? Is the cost too high to add the printing capability? The cost of equipment is so cheap compared with one lawsuit. It would also reduce the stress of loosing your job over a labeling mistake. Just seems like a win win for everyone.

RE: [Histonet] Cassette Marking
As compared to a lawsuit, yes it's cheaper. But, when trying to explain to a budget committee that you need something to label things that you can do by hand...they usually don't see the point. This brings me back to my original point of mislabelling things 2 times in a year...
