Hi Caroline,
This may sound a little crazy,
but I was working on some mummified tissue back in the 80's, (Mommy is old),
and to deal with the dried out tissue we would give them,
1. A quick .5 percent Sodium Hydroxide soak, 5minutes

Hi,
Does anyone have a chirp proof way of cleaning coplin jars?
Does anyone store special stain dyes and solutions in coplin jars other than
glass?
If so, can you share with me your cleaning protocol and which coplin jars you
use?
We've had too many issues in our lab and washroom with
Hey Banjo,
Yes, I have been inspected without any real representative from histology.
My current employer sends a Pathologist, PhD and the AP Manager
(Cytotechnologist with no real Histology experience) to our CAP inspection.
The person really doesn't need to know anything about Histology

Hello,
We have 2 Microm HM355S motorized microtomes. We use the motor
to move the block close to the blade, but turn the wheel manually when
sectioning. Both are "jumping" forward on their own occasionally while
sectioning, which is unsettling and chunks into the block. One of
Good morning and happy Friday everyone!
I am looking to buy some siphon drum pumps- does anyone out there use them? We
have three and they are all leaking at the squeeze/bulb area from the xylene

Hello Netters,
Does anyone have a protocol for optimizing section quality for specimens with
considerable adipose tissue to produce cryostat sections? We have had several
instances recently with derm specimens with considerable subcutaneous adipose
tissue as well as lymph nodes with
