We replace oour lapping plates when they get so thin that they can not be
properly "resurfaced" or honed. If they slip off of each other when they are
being honed...they are too thin.

Dear All,
Any feedback appreciated.
I've always used Cresyl Violet Echt, and now I've just switched to
Cresyl Violet acetate. Does anyone know if I could treat these two the
same way? I've been using 5g of the cresyl in 1000ml of dH2O. Does
anyone work with this Nissl body stain and if so what protocol do you
use?
Thank you.

Good evening,
I'm looking for some volunteers to give us some input on billing features
that you absolutely love or would love to have in your system. Basically,
we're enhancing the billing aspect of our AP system and we'd like to get as
many opinions as possible. Of course, we've already started with our
current clients, but we'd like to expand our horizons.
So, if you don't mind sharing some of the best parts, worst parts, or even
fantasies, I'd appreciate it.
To start with, our overall objective is to make billing as automatic as
possible. Why we involve our technologists or pathologists in billing has
always been beyond me. Your jobs should be to focus on performing the task
as hand, and to me, at least, that's not about billing.
...though I know we have to bill to stay in existence.
I appreciate whatever you can give me.
Michael Mihalik

Dear All,
Any feedback appreciated.
I've always used Cresyl Violet Echt, and now I've just switched to
Cresyl Violet acetate. Does anyone know if I could treat these two the
same way? I've been using 5g of the cresyl in 1000ml of dH2O. Does
anyone work with this Nissl body stain and if so what protocol do you
use?
Thank you.
Pumla

To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
We are trying to section pieces of horse femurs, fetlock and carpal joints.
They have been decalcified with either HCl decal or formic acid decal.
Before routine processing the bones appear to be decalcified, but at
sectioning
they are very hard and brittle (even after surface decal) and chip out of
the
paraffin block.
Any suggestions would be helpful. A pathologist suggested a soap soaking
solution but could not remember the name of the soap.
Help and thank you,

Hello All,
We've been using Factor XIII, A-subunit polyclonal antibody from Calbiochem
(Cat.No.233498) on skin conditions successfully so far.
However this antibody was discontinued few years ago and they are offering
Factor XIII, S-subunit only. Although I haven't tried FXIII S-unit
immunostaining on human skin, I tried two other monoclonal Factor XIIIa but
the stains were not as good as our current one.
I tried Neomaker and Novocastra's. Can anyone suggest the source of good
FXIIIa please? Thank you.

If you like, I can come and clean the lenses, at a modest price (say
10c/hr) plus travelling.
My microscope lenses always look worse after I clean them, so I should
have the same success with your camera lenses.
By the way, I live in Sydney, Australia!!
But seriously, what a dumb move, to install cameras without
consultation!!

Some things to think about....
Rinse the tissue well with running tap water after decal and before
processing - this seems to make a difference (depends on the size of the
bone - 2hrs to overnight)
EMbed the bones so that the long axis is either at right angles or 45
degrees to the blade so that the edge of the knife doesn't have to cut
through a narrow band of cortical bone along its entire length - this causes
"skipping"(If this is unclear I can send you an attachment with a diagramme)
Once you have faced the blocks put the face down on ice in a -20 deg freezer
overnight (chest type freezer). then remove the one ata time for sectioning.
I have only had limited sucess with soaking the faced blocks in fabric
softener undiluted.
Hopes this helps
best regards

For tough or brittle, but not necessarily calcified tissue, I find that
soaking the block on a water soaked tissue for 10-15 minutes effective for
softening. It can sometimes take all day to get a section, as trimming
sometimes has to be done 4-5 microns at a time!!
