RE: [Histonet] RE: Coverslipper

From:"Rathborne, Toni"



We have the same. Contact your Leica service dept. We have a great service rep who has a list of what mounting mediums work with which clearants, and what setting the dispenser should be set at. Another thing to watch, is when you replace the bottle with the mounting medium, that may have bubbles in it. To avoid that, we refill ours as soon as we change to another bottle. This way, the newly filled bottle  will have a few days to let the bubbles in it rise to the surface. I hope this helps.Toni RathbornePathology SupervisorSomerset Medical Center110 Rehill Ave.Somerville,NJ 08876908-595-2367-----Original Message-----From: histonet-bounces@lists.utsouthwestern.edu[mailto:histonet-bounces@lists.utsouthwestern.edu]On Behalf OfPemberton, SusanSent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 5:30 PMTo: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.eduSubject: [Histonet] RE: CoverslipperWe have a Leica stainer/coverslipper - it's two years old.

It alldepends on the blocking agent your using -- some protein blocks are madefrom casein or digested immunoglobulin (e.g  Fab2 fargments), some are madewith only animal serum, and others are combinations of these materials -- Ifthe reagent you're using is made with animal serum, for example, thebackgroud could be caused by the blocking agent sticking to endogenousimmunoglobulins with the specimen.  At least this is one possibility, andthe only way to confirm/resolve this issue is to try a differnt type ofprotein blocker.Cheers,Sally------------------------------Message: 16Date: Tue, 05 Aug 2008 05:49:59 -0400From: njoydobro@aol.comSubject: [Histonet] protein blockTo: Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.eduGood Morning everyone,????

I understand the need for security,but there is a certain amount of trust lost when one makes the decision tomonitor employees without even informing them as to why. (Weather or notthey are legally bound to do so.) You can accomplish the same thing byletting employees know that there is a problem (or a potential problem) andhaving them beware and observant. As a last resort when they find theproblem still presists using stromger methods becomes warranted.   Once you give up this personal liberty and allow someone to watch overyour shoulder all the time you loose the ability to make the right choicesas there are no choices to make. I would rather live in a society of peoplethat want to do the right thing than one of people that are forced to. Atthat point we might as well allow those that would do us harm to make allthe decisions for us and abandon any form of personal freedom we may have.   Ben Franklin published in Poor Richard's Almanac the famous quote*"Thosewho would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety,deserve neither liberty nor safety."* It is important to temper our fearswith a sense of who we are lest we devolve into a military state.Thanks,Amos BrooksMessage: 19Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2008 10:46:26 -0600From: "Patsy Ruegg" Subject: RE: [Histonet] surveillance cameras in the labTo: "'Cheri Miller'" ,,       Message-ID:       Content-Type: text/plain;       charset="us-ascii"Come on.In these times of terror concerns I am not sure I would work in a placewhere I did not feel secure and the use of these devices help in thatmatter.We built a brand new University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and thereare cameras all over the place as well as lock down.

So, as chair of the committee, I am looking for 2 volunteers to judge posters.      Qualifications include NSH membership and attendance  at the Pittsburgh meeting and knowledge of clinical, research and educational histology.  You don't have to have worked in all areas to be familiar with work done by others.  A working knowledge of publication methods is helpful.     The "job" requires that you talk to the presenters Sunday between 10:30 and 12:30, review the posters and judge them in specific areas sometime between Sunday and Monday afternoon, compile your results (that doesn't take long) and meet with the other members Monday afternoon.     For all this you do not get paid, stay essentially anonymous and blow you mind from reviewing outstanding work by our members.     If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible by e-mail or phone.  As someone said, it's the hardest job you'll ever love.

I liked to use compressed or forced air,  a fan works nicely.Coverslip with permanent mounting media over dry section.Be aware that 1 um is really thin and will not look like a regular H&E on a thicker section.  There just isn't much tissue in a 1 um thick section.  I had pathologists complain, but when this was explained, they understood what was going on since they were used to looking at 5 um thick sections.Alcohols during dehyration will cause sections to release or bulge from slide.  Xylene can create problems too so we always mounted a coverglass over a dry section.   You can thin the mounting media a bit just in case it doesn't flow well.  If you have a bit of funky plastic fold over of plastic, that can be scraped away with a teflon coated razor blade, to not have extra thickness in a bad place during coverslipping.We did not use Harris hematoxylin for GMA sections, and this method basically is what Polysciences put out years ago when GMA first came out, and it worked very well for us over the years.Good luck on stainingGayle M.
