RE: [Histonet] Formalin smell in the last paraffin station in vip 6 tissue tek
Hi If the paraffin are overheated it gives abnormal odor. Recheck the paraffin bath temperature and the paraffin melting point then make sure to adjust the bath temperature at 2 degrees above the melting point. Please update me. Best Regards, Jamal M.

I think the best you should do is obtaining the MSDS for those fixatives and check their composition and disposal.René J.

[Histonet] Kidney bx transport
We receive kidney biopsies brought directly to our grossing area within a few minutes after the cores are obtained. Previously, this was done by nephrologists, but since the renal biopsies are performed in radiology, the interventional radiologist brings them. We decide adequacy first, then apportion specimen to EM, IF and formalin. Similar to the protocol Tim has mentioned, our cores are received on saline-soaked pads in a petri dish. We transfer them to a slide wetted with saline to assess under light microscopy. It seems to come down to a decision of who wants to go where :) The IVR folks are willing to bring the biopsies to our laboratory - they get instant feedback, and often use the exchange for teaching purposes as we are a tertiary care academic centre. Another factor would be the location of microscope used for visualizing adequacy of the cores. The distance between the two locations is not huge, and there is always an MLT instantly available to assess the cores. Rarely has this system had hiccups. Occasionally, the adequacy is a question-mark, and we err on the side of asking IVR to obtain more tissue. This is usually delivered within 5-10 minutes after we request it.

Some of our samples are from preserved specimen. We have a significant number of students that work/live on farms as well so from time to time we get a chick embryo that did not survive. Also, we have researched and would like to try some plant/seed histology processes. If alcohol will produce similar results without excessive dehydration that would be a great option for this setting.

RE: [Histonet] Formalin smell in the last paraffin station in vip 6 tissue tek
Not sure if it's the same scenario, but this happened to us once about a dozen years ago on an older version of a VIP. Luckily, I haven't seen this again! One of our lab assistants loaded a basket of formalin-fixed tissues onto a processor that hadn't yet been through the clean cycle. The machine wouldn't let him start the process, so he took the basket out and put it back into formalin to wait while he ran the clean cycle. For that brief moment that the basket was in the retort, a bunch of residual formalin drained off the tissues and basket and mixed in with the residual molten paraffin that was left in the bottom of the retort. Anyway, after he ran the clean cycle he started the run as usual. 8 hours later, our blocks smelled like formalin when we cut them, and they were all mushy in texture. So Sakura told us that whenever you run the clean cycle, the VIP (again, it was a really old model and I'm not sure if the technology is still the same) will attempt to draw back into the last station that was used, any residual reagent that was left in the retort before proceeding to the next reagent. Since the last reagent had been paraffin, anything in the retort (including the newly mixed in formalin) went back into the last paraffin chamber on the VIP. As such, the next basket of tissues were infiltrated with formalin-infused paraffin in the very last processing step. If I recall, we had to reprocess almost all of those blocks. Hope this helps.

Try a cell culture solution like Hanks. It preserves better than normal saline (which despite its name is not isotonic with cells).
