[Histonet] Processor failure

From:Jackie.O'Connor@abbott.com


Fellow histonetters:
I haven't done this in years.  I came in this a.m. to find the tissues on my processor suspended in air over the first absolute alcohol station.  Apparently, the machine, a Shandon Citadel 2000, was moved too close to a wall and stuck as it tried to rotate.  I have about 100 xenografts to rescue.  Right now they all look and feel like bb's.  My plan is to rehydrate them and reprocess them, but I have my doubts as to the quality of the morphology and any subsequent IHC.  As I said, I haven't screwed up a basket of tissue in years and years - so I would appreciate any new ideas on possibly saving these tumors.  Thanks in advance.
