[Histonet] RE: Histonet Digest, Vol 18, Issue 11-methasol fast blue

From:Malam Jacqueline

We used to use it for myelin stain - can't find mention of it being same as
Luxol, but a dye called methazol fast blue can be used instead of Luxol fast
blue MBSN for myelin - same dye - different spelling?

   Hi Ben,

   It's good to read that you're at least successful with the application
   of True Blue since this isn't the most easy chromogen to deal with.
   Furthermore, your choice for this turquoise-red color combination is a
   very good one, because of it's very high contrast.

   Vector Red however, isn't that strong in my hands either. You may try
   to look with a fluorescence microscope as the Vector Red reaction
   product shows a very strong (red) fluorescence upon green light
   excitation (rhodamine-filter pack). Furthermore, I have very good
   results for both light (and fluorescence microscopy) using the new
   Dako Permanent Red kit (K0640). The staining intensity is much
   higher than with Vector Red.

   Hello All,

   I  have  been  attempting  some  double  labeling for fos and estrogen
   receptor
   for  about  a month with little luck.  I am using Vector Red (fos) and
   True
   Blue  (ER)  for  my  staining.   I  am  having no problems with the ER
   labeling,
   but  the fos labeling is not that clear.  I don't appear to be getting
   a
   strong reaction product from the Vector Red.  Has anyone else had this
   problem?   How  strong  should the staining be (light pink, dark pink,
   red)?  I
   have been careful to only place in xylene for a few moments before
   coverslipping and therefore don't think fading is my problem.

   I  have been thinking that my antigen retrieval may be the problem.  I
   am
   using triton X to improve antigen retrieval, but was thinking about
   microwaving.   These  are  free  floating  sections.   First  is  this
   possible to
   do with free floati! ng sectio

Hello, all,
 
Recently I do Alizarin Red and Alcian Blue staining of mouse embryo
skeletons, but I find that my results are not better due to a wrong color=2E
After staining, bone should be red, and cartilage should be blue, but my
results are that bone is stained purple, and cartilage is stained green,
then I change my protocol, but I get the similar results, I do not know the
reasons, I guess that bioreagents could not be good, because I make them up,
the colors of the solutions are purple and green respectively, not red and
blue.Our bioreagents are from sigma. 
 
If you have some experience about it, can you do me a favor?
 
Best wishes!

I am trying to stain collected gastric tissue cells with Maxwell's staining
procedure (1963) but we don't have methasol fast blue in our lab. I also
can't find any links on the web where I can buy this dye. can someone help
me with this? Is it the same dye as Luxol fast blue?

Kind regards

Renee,

I'd tend to agree with Patsy as far as a sequence best determined  
empirically. You'll probably need to compare each protocol for each  
antigen of interest.

 From a theoretical perspective, both techniques of "unmasking" involve the

breaking of strong molecular bonds. HIER is typically designed to cleave =20
the basic side-chains of amino acids on proteins previously fixed (or  
bound to each other) with x-aldehyde. Enzyme digestion is similarly  
designed to cleave proteins but at well defined amino acids which are not  
necessarily basic - it depends on the digesting enzyme and its substrate.

My guess would be that progressing from a more basic (read simple/generic)  
to a more specific cleaving sequence would be more efficient;  
consequently, treat with HIER first and enzyme digestion second. The HIER  
would open up the tissue to further access and the enzyme digestion could  
then more specifically cleave regions hindering an even more localized  
access to your target antigen. To a great extent, these success derived  
 from these sequences will be greatly influenced by the local milieu of  
your target antigen. The relative content of various amino acids in a  
given milieu may or may not be known. To that end empirical observations =20
are "best" which is why mandating one particular protocol over another may  
be a bit dubious.

Good luck.

This is a question for hospital based histo labs.  The hospital we are based
in has talked of moving our histology laboratory to an area separated from
the surgical suites.  My question is, how many hospital histology labs are
removed from the surgical suites by a significant distance?  Of those that
are separated, do you have a frozen/gross area located away from the histo
lab but close to the OR?  As many responses as possible would be
appreciated.  This will greatly facilitate our decisions for future
locations.

We are located one floor above the surgical suites, but we do maintain a
frozen/gross room in the surgical suite area.  At the end of the day the
gross tech brings the specimens upstairs to be loaded in the processors.

Hi Gayle and All,

I just purchased one from Amazon and only two were still listed at $8.95
p;us
shipping and handling it was about $12.50 for the copy.

Several years ago our surgical pathology, IHC/ISH, and renal labs were
moved to rented space in a VA hospital that's physically connected to
our University hospital.  The grossing and frozen section lab remained
in space adjacent to the ORs.  The cassetted specimens are brought over
from there every day on carts.  It seems to work okay.  If the surgeons
want to talk with a pathologist the next day about a specimen they have
to walk over to the VA to do so.

Dear all

For those looking for a way to eliminate or reduce lipofuscin 
autofluorescence in CNS tissues and other cells, there is a commercial 
product available.  Science magazine just listed this new reagent, and it=20

Very interesting question and very pertinent for Laboratory Modernisation in
the UK. Traditionally it has always been supposed that Histology Labs must
be on Site for the very reasons you suggest. My experience in London and now
in the North leads me to question that. I accept that frozen sections may
need a local presence, but they are relatively rare nowadays, but a
motorbike Courier service may be quicker than a porter!

I think a happy intermediary is for there to be a Core Lab, that deals with
the bulk of the processing and staining and this will reduce the duplication
of tests and increase the critical number of Staff; you should see costs
driven down. ICC and such like can be consolidated on one Site again with
cost savings. A satellite laboratory may be needed to deal with frozen
sections and urgent rapid H&E's, but I wonder if that necessity, once the
Core Lab became organised may 'wither on the vine'. The bigger problems are
MDT's and alienation of Pathologists from their Clinical colleagues;
Telepathology and the use of video cameras are a solution, but not a
complete one; the spontaneous ways we humans do business makes that an
unacceptable means of communicating.

In order to release resources consolidation must occur and if used wisely
may result in extension of roles with the positive impact on recruitment and
retention of Staff.

are separated, do you have a frozen/gross area located away from the histo
lab but close to the OR?  As many responses as possible would be
appreciated.  This will greatly facilitate our decisions for future
locations.

Fellow tech's,
Does anyone know of a company in Florida that services microscopes? I have

We have the surgical suites located one floor above us.  The O.R. sends a
runner down with the frozens.  We keep the cryostats here in histology.  We
do get a copy of the surgury schedule, so we have an idea when about half
the frozens are comming.  It's not perfect, but it works, as long as the
runner hand delivers the frozen to someone and does not  just leave it on
the counter.

On a previous life in the alien visited town of Roswell, NM, we had an
offsite lab.  The frozen sections were handled by the pathologists at the
hospital, but the rest of the specimens were picked up by a courier twice a
day and brought to the lab for gross.  The courier will also ensure that
there was enough materials at the frozen room daily.  And the doctors were
always kind enough to let us know when their mess was too much for us to go
and clean it up.  Ever try to clean up a weeks worth of shavings in a
cryostat?  Needles to say we stop waiting for word and visited the hospital
often to keep the room nice and tidy;0)

We are located one floor above the surgical suites, but we do maintain a
frozen/gross room in the surgical suite area.  At the end of the day the
gross tech brings the specimens upstairs to be loaded in the processors.

Ron,

Try Micro Optics of Florida, 3941 S.W. 47th Ave., Davie, FL, 954-791-0082, <
www.microopticsfl.com>.

They are Leica dealers, but I believe their service shop also maintains and 
repairs other brands of scopes.

Cheers,

Bob

Our lab is on the hospital area, but in another building as the surgery
area. We are connected with the surgery room with a pneumatic delivery, that
shots the tissue to us. That takes less than 30 sec. We do the frozens in an
integrated part of our lab. The pathologists give the results through an
intercommunication system to the surgeon.
