Subject: [Histonet] viral contamination during frozen sections

I have a question that I wanted some input on.  Our lab was thinking about the 
possibilities a patient with a viral infection having a frozen section
(hepatitis, HIV, etc.) .   I was wondering if anyone had any protocols for
the stains and the cleanliness of the slides after the frozen section was
retrieved.   This is this the first time this thought came up and we were
wondering about viral contamination in the stains and the safety of
employees beyond the cryostat.I have found information on cleaning the
cryostat, but I was wondering if anyone did any cleaning of the staining table 
after the slides with contaminated tissue were stained.

Thanks,
Travis Troyer

Re: [Histonet] alcohol or formalin filtration system

[Elizabeth Chlipala via Histonet]

We have used the filtration systems in the past - the one thing you need to 
keep in mind is that the percentage of alcohol you put in is the percentage you 
get out.  You need to test with a hydrometer and account for temperature what 
you get out.So you only want to put in your absolute and possibly your 95% 
if you put in 70% or 80% at the same time you will decrease your concentration 
too much.  

We use a fractional distillation unit now and even with that we get out ranges 
from 90 to 95% for alcohol when we account for temperature when using a 
hydrometer.  We are also able to recycle our xylene, and propar with the same 
unit so it has helped us out a lot with both the amount of waste we generate 
and especially the amount of xylene that we need to order.

Hello Megan,
Next week 4/24-4/30 is National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week.  
Many labs are celebrating with trivia contests, luncheons, themed days and
general activities to promote their professions.  
As you might already know I publish a monthly newsletter to my subscriber
list of over 1800 histology professionals listing all of the current
openings I am working on.
I will be publishing a special lab week edition next week and was wondering
if you had any current or future histology openings I can assist you with
and include in my newsletter.  
This is not a solicitation for advertising.  I am a recruiter who
specializes in the permanent placement of histology professionals.  I only
inform my subscribers about positions with clients I am working with.  
I can help you find the next member of your histology team.  Let me save you
time and money in your search.  Put me and my resources to work for you.  
 
If you would like more information I can send you another e-mail containing
our fee agreement and additional information about our services.  
 
And I would love to have the opportunity to assist you with and add any
current or future histology openings to my Lab Week Newsletter.

Thank You!
