[Histonet] Embedding Work Sheets
| From: | "Kopczynski, Charlotte" |
We currently use Cerner Millennium and after the cases have been
accessioned, we print a Grossing Worklist which has several lines between
cases. This is used at the Grossing Bench where Block/pieces and any
special instructions are written manually. Then the Processing tasks are
entered into Cerner which has a field for pieces for each processing task
(H&E Block). After all the grossing info has been entered, an embedding
worklist is printed along with slide labels. The person embedding, checks
the worklist and initials each case. If any discrepancies occur, the
embedder follows up with the Pathologist or PA. When the slides are
stained, coverslipped and labeled, the blocks are checked against the slides
and the worklist is initialed before delivery to the pathologist.
Thanks,
Charlotte Kopczynski,HTL(ASCP)

Subject: [Histonet] Chromogens that survive HIER
Hello. I am working on a double stain, in which my first round of developing
I use Vector Blue.
I then do a HIER and proceed....
The Vector Blue stains beautifully and it remains the same even after going
through heat induced antigen retrieval.
Can anyone tell me if there are other visualizations systems, besides Vector
Blue, that can withstand going through HIER?
Thank you

The question of who is allowed to gross what surgical pathology specimens
seems to keep coming up. Right now the regulatory agencies seem to be
leaning
toward making the pathologist do it all.
In contrast, nobody seems to be interested in the embedder - who in effect
re-grosses small biopsy specimens. When I was a resident (around 1970) we
used
to fill out a sheet - listing the number of biopsy specimens for example -
that
the embedder consulted while embedding. I've worked in maybe forty surgical=20
pathology services since then (as a locum tenens pathologist, mostly) and I=20
don't think I've ever seen an embedding sheet again.
It's quite disconcerting when the endoscopist describes three specimens, I
receive two, and the next day there's only one piece of tissue on the slide.
It seems to me that the College of American Pathologists (CAP) should make
it
a Phase II (immediate remediation required) to embed small specimens without
an embedding sheet.
Cowpath, Tantrum, and other surgical pathology data bases should be able to=20
generate a compact case list that the count of specimens could be
handwritten
onto - Cowpath at least requires that a compact specimen log be handwritten.
And pathology residents should be required to come in during the wee hours

Well said. We would pass on that requirement as we do still count pieces -
written on the requisition for the transcriptionist to put in the gross
template, and transferred to the Triple G system for the embedders. If we
don't have the correct number of pieces, it is brought to the attention of
the pathologist.

Tom,
For over two years now, we have had "R2D2" sitting on the floor of
our lab so it can circulate the air while removing the wonderful
perfumes that histology is well known for. The comments/complaints have
decreased so much that other departments are clamoring for our $1500.00
solution. Additional filters are $449 each. We got this through
ml-MarketLab JL9390 for the Air Filtration System with Filter.
Replacement Filter is JL9266.
www.MarketLabInc.com or 1.800.237.3604. Now, we very rarely have a
complaint from someone about the odors; so that says it is working well.
We leave it on 24/7 at the medium setting. The high setting stirs up
too much dust for me allergies.

Dr. R,
you bring up an excellent point. We have one pathologist that refuses to cut
shave bxs, vas deferens, fallopian tubes, temporal arteries and other small=20
specimens. I have instructed my embedders that they have to cut these
specimens for proper orientation. Is this considered grossing?
As far as grossing sheets, every lab that I have worked in, plus the lab
that I started, always had a grossing sheet. It's almost mal-practice not
to. How could you tell if a specimen has special instructions or not such as
a renal bx?
Just my 3 cents worth.

Hello, and thanks to all for their input on the PASCAL pressure cooker.
Another IHC question. We use the Dako Autostainer Plus and occassionaly
have areas on the slides that don't seem to stain. We are careful not to

They should not but if you are diluting concentrated Abs you should remember

Has anyone had any problems with Davidson's fixative interfering with

We use the Promega Dead End kit and it works great; however when we do a
TUNEL assay, we also run pHistone IHC.

What counterstain do you use? Hematoxylin will clumb and clog the probe
causing uneven staining.

Subject: [Histonet] Dako Autostainer
Hello, and thanks to all for their input on the PASCAL pressure cooker.
Another IHC question. We use the Dako Autostainer Plus and occassionaly
have areas on the slides that don't seem to stain. We are careful not to
let the slides dry out. Do Autostainers have a problem distributing
reagents evenly?
Thanks,

We have a TBS Shurwave 1200 and we are trying to process fatty skin
specimens.
Does anybody have a sample program for microwave processing fatty skin
specimens? We are also looking at microwave processing all types of
specimens.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.
