      It sounds as though it is time to replace the carbon filter on
the
VIP processor. This should be done on a regular basis depending on
usage.

Our department wants to purchase a tissue arrayer from Beecher

Does anyone know where we could purchase this equipment or how to get in

I am opening a Mohs laboratory in Northern Virginia, just outside 
Washington DC, and need some help.

1.  I need a Histotech, either PT or FT.  Beginning September, 2004.

2.  I have been following the conversation about xylene substitutes -
 and from what I gather, they can do a good job.  I am wondering if 
anyone has used "Slide Brite."  What the sales rep tells me sounds 
great, but can anyone speak from their own experience?

Thanks

Set up a reagent station with idodine, 5 minutes shoud do.  From there
just go through your rehydrating alcohols, tap water wash, and
continue
your staining procedure.

Joe,

We have been using B-Plus for about 2 years. Our pathologists love it
and
feel that it is equal to B-5. We have been required to eliminate the
use of
mercury products in our lab so this product has worked very exceptional
for
us. Trying to dispose of the mercury waste was getting to be a
nightmare.
Our pathologists only commented right after we started using this
product
that they noticed a very slight difference. They felt the difference
was
insignificant and adjusted quickly to the slight difference. Now they
say
that they can't tell the difference.....hmmm.
We had tried another product before discovering B-Plus that they just
hated.
I was thrilled that they accepted the B-Plus as I was out of options to
try
for a B-5 substitute.

Reminder to everyone who is dezenkerizing (lugolizing) on the stainers
-
when you get ready to dump this iodine station, it cannot go down the
sink.
It now contains mercuric salts, so must be collected as mercury waste.
(As
should the next couple of containers of reagents, carry-over on the
slides.)

Ways to get around this:
1. Dezenkerize (lugolize) by hand, then add the slide to the stainer.
2. Switch over to a zinc fixative.

Take the temperature of YOUR room, and use that.

Muhammad said 25 degrees C.

25 degrees C = 77 degrees F

That would be too hot in our lab in Michigan, which is air conditioned
in
the spring/summer/fall, and never too hot when the furnace is on in
the
winter. Plus, with the increased air ventilation/flow, it always seems
chillier.

22 degrees C = 71.6 degrees F.
20 degrees C = 68 degrees F.

That's more the range in our anatomic pathology labs.

Of course, one year they move the student lab into a room that the
heat
didn't work very well. We did have a large picture window, but there
was a
sheet of ice on it all winter long. Our average that winter was:

15 degrees C = 59 degrees F

I am looking for any suggestions when it  comes to processing prostate
biopsies. The pathologist have going back and forth with processing
these biopsies using a typical biopsy program on the tissue processors
and using a routine process which is used for processing most tissue
specimens. Everyone I have talked with about this processes all prostate
biopsies using a biopsy program, about 5-6 hours in the tissue
processor. Any processing or staining tips anyone could give me about
prostate biopsies would be greatly appreciated.

                             Bert
