Good morning from warm, muggy San Diego!

I understand why some folks have a bit of a short fuse with superfluous seeming 
emails from the Histonet. It's the same reason we are not allowed to send 
emails out to all associates at work. Most have an over-active email account 
anyway and it's just another one that takes their time to read.

For those folks, I recommend subscribing to the Histonet digest. You get one, 
maybe two emails a day only, with the complete compilation of the day's 
questions, comments, witty retorts, etc. You can visit here: 
http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet and change your mail 
delivery.

Otherwise, I recommend a quick scan and liberal use of the delete button.

[Histonet] Tissue Processor

2013-09-04 Thread Vickroy, Jim

Wondered if anyone had any thoughts or information on the comparison of two 
tissue processors that we are considering.   The two instruments are the Leica 
ASP6025 and the Thermofisher Excelsior ES.  We originally also considered 
another VIP.  The Leica ASP6025 and the Thermofisher unit have a lot of 
similarities but there are some definite differences including price.  I wish 
there was a Consumer Reports study of tissue processors because making the 
correct choice is getting harder and harder.   Our tissue processors run every 
day and I definitely want an instrument to be able to take the wear and tear of 
every day usage.  Obviously the VIP 6 has a family of processors that have 
lasted for years but I'm not sure that they have kept up with the new 
technology and bells and whistles that make usage easier and more 
cost-effective.

If you have any experience with one of these processors please let me know, 
good or bad.  I have been in histology for over 35 years and this is the first 
time I have felt like I'm buying a car.
There are so many rumors out there such as:


1.You have to use proprietary reagents with this processor because the 
easy fill only works with their bottles. (recall)

2.   One instrument will not last as long as the other because of materials 
in the design.

3.   Service will be a problem with one company and not the other, because 
of who is trained to service the instrument.

4.   Etc, Etc, Etc.

I would be forever grateful for any additional information you could give me.  
Thanks

We are looking/hoping for some opinions on some equipment that we are 
considering for our lab.

In the tissue processor line up we have:  Leica's ASP6025; the VIP 6; Thermo's 
STP 420ES and Milestone's Logos.

The IHC Stainer contenders are:  Ventana's Ultra; Leica's Bond III or an 
updated version of what we currently use - the Labvision Autostainer.

It's especially important to us to hear the opinions of techs who work with 
these instruments, as the selections here are being made primarily by those who 
do not.  We are a community hospital with about 5800 cases/year.  We average 
25-30 IHC slides/day.  Thanks in advance!

[Histonet] RE: holes in nuclei of FFPE tissue after IHC staining

2013-09-04 Thread Subash Govender
Dear All
I am having a problem with my immunohstochemistry staining.  The nuclei of the 
cells have holes in the middle.  I have a feeling that it could be my pressure 
cooking procedure. I pressure cook the slides for 1min 30 secs and leave them 
to stand for 20 mins thereafter.  This is strange because i did not always have 
this problem.  The cells seem to be overcooked. This occurs with both EDTA  pH 
8,9 and citric acid pH6 solutions.  Has anybody had this problem or can anyone 
help please.

Thank you very much.

I responded to jw privately but want to show my support for Hazel or anyone 
else that is facing a CAP inspection.  I think Hazel and everyone that posts 
that CAP is in their institution is looking for moral support and I sent Hazel 
a message right away saying Good luck.  I hope Hazel or anyone else posts how 
their inspection goes and lets the rest of us know any issues we should be on 
the look out for!~

We all know how trying it can be to be inspected  Just hit delete if you 
don't want to be friedly and show your support!!!

E-mails that tell all of what is happening, i.e. CAP is in house is a waste 
of time. Are we going to communicate when you wash your hands or have a cup of 
coffee.
If Histonet is to be a source of information, ASK a question

Re: [Histonet] EPIC Beaker

2013-09-04 Thread Beth Brinegar
Good afternoon!  We just went live with Epic Beaker June 2013 and it's been
one fat mess.  I have plenty of information for anyone interested.  It
seems there were lots of things that weren't considered for AP with Epic
beaker.  We have faced a lot of problems with go-live.  My first piece of
advice is to keep all you pathologists VERY involved with the build
structure and to consult with  Optime frequently.  We've had the most
difficulty with Optime and Beaker talking and specimens getting lost in
Epic.  Or, we've had AP specimens get lost in core lab, and everything has
to be reordered to get things moving.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  The build is a big
beast, and we didn't have much success with our go-live because there were
many things we didn't really know to consider.

 See if you can get your Beaker people to talk to the Beaker people who are
 working on the Duke University Health System-ClinLabs AP build.  We are
 taking it one step at a time and the AP module is being built separately
 from the CP build.

 Beaker is taking over 18 months to build, we have tentative go-live for
 July 2014.

  Room issues we need in AP.  I am looking for any advise or
 recommendations
  anyone who is running Epic Beaker now or is in the process as we are to
  implement it in the next 6 months or so.  I would prefer this is off line
  if anyone resonding is OK doing it that way.  If others want the info
 then
  please to Histonet will work too.
