Hello Histoworld!
Has anyone used the Klinipath coverslipper? I am thinking of buying one and
was wondering how it compares to the Sakura tape coverslippper.
Thank you

Hi Paula and fellow histonetters!
Please allow me to put my 2 cents in on this conversation.
The most important thing I want to say to you is please don't shoot the
messenger!
Secondly, if a recruiter or anyone in a professional setting is asked for
help and responds by laughing, me personally I
Histonetters-
As we discuss new instrumentation and different workflow scenarios I am curious
to know what kind of turnaround time others have from time of accession to
report sign out.
1. How long and what percentage?
2. How many have HT's grossing in smalls (skins, gi's)?
Thank you much!
Your TAT will be determined by the way you organize your workflow. Under
separate cover I am sending you data for several countries that I presented at
a conference in Australia and another in Spain.

You also might do better calculating your end time not as signed out, but
delivered to the pathologist. By doing this, you can get a better
understanding of where the bottlenecks occur. Your techs may get the slides out
at 9:00, but the case may not be signed out for another 8 hours.
We have
Hi Histonetters,
I am interested in hearing from folks who went from a manual histology system
to a barcoding system. I would like to look into to adopting bar coding and
want to know the pitfalls, issues, and your successes in doing so.
Thanks!

I am making this official and inviting all of you who know Jim to join me in
wishing him a very happy retirement. His impact to our field and to the patient
care at Duke University has been stellar. I had no idea his feet were so big
gauging by the size of shoe left behind to fill.
Best wishes
Here's a response I have received off list:
Teri,
We just looked at a barcode histology tracking system called LabLion. I have
never heard of them until yesterday. It was developed by a histotech and some
engineers. It looks too good to be true. We have looked at a lot of different
Make sure that if the system produces slide labels that go on at the time of
microtomy (before staining) that they are compatible with your automatic cover
slipper. If the label is even the slightest bit too big the machine may not be
able to pick up the slides properly. Big Trouble !
Anyone out there have any spare AFB controls? Thanks is advance :)

Sorry Teri must have missed the reply all button.
And also Lablion claims to interface with any current lab equipment that you
have. So if you already have slide printers (either etchers or labelers) it
can work. Like I said. I haven't seen it in action, but I sure would like to.

Teri, if you don't mind, I'd like to respond from the perspective of an LIS
vendor.
I would propose that you need to think about what your objectives are when
implementing such a system, and then seek out those vendors who can best
help you to reach those goals.
Barcoding is a fairly straight
Mike,
This is a great overview of questions that need to be answered when considering
such a system. Our current needs are fairly simple but I am also wanting to be
proactive about potential future use. I appreciate your email to the list; it
is useful for those of us as we negotiate this
Hi Dorothy,
Controls for Verhoeff vanGieson elastic stain is very subjective due
to the differentiation in ferric chloride. Large arteries are usually used
as a control. If you differentiate all the slides based upon the appearance
of a large artery the small vessels will be totally gone. If
Hi Teri,
First, is this for research or clinical? The two workflows and needs may be
entirely different. The major systems on the market for clinical histology may
not work very well in a research setting as they are aimed at streamlining the
normal histology workflow and are fairly rigid in
