Hi, after fixation with NBF I have performed H+E staining on the cells
still adherent to the culture plate. Following fixation, wash with
water, cover with haematoxylin (Harris) 5min, wash, blue (if necessary)
wash, cover with eosin (3 min), wash and coverslip (on the culture
plate) using aqueous mountant (Gurr, aquahere). You can also do immuno
staining for cell surface markers on cultured cells without removing
them from the plate. Regards, Ian Birchall, Melbourne.

Subject: [Histonet] RE: Cell Culture Staining
Hi Kevin,
There is a method described by Harold Kerstens to embed your cells into
paraffin blocks. Spin the cells down in an Eppendorf tube, remove the
supernatant and mix the cells gently with 1 ml warm (65C) 2% agarose
solution. Centrifuge again to concentrate the cells. Embed in paraffin
as usally.
See paper by: Kerstens et al. JHC 48:709-718, 2000.
For the next time try to get some collagen sponges from some cell
culturing company. Spin the (unfixed!) cells down and wash 3x with PBS
(remove proteins). Discard supernatant and resuspend cells in a small
volume. Insert sponge and allow the cells to adhere to the collagen (15
min, RT). Fix sponge in buffered formalin and embed as usual.
Good luck!

I would highly recommend the tissue tek DRS 2000 automated stainer and
to complement that the SCA coverslipper. Bothe are sold by Sakura
Finetek. I'm not sure of their web address but call 1.800.725.8723 to
get more product info.

Our lab is in the process of purchasing our automated stainer for
routine H&E's,Grossing Work Station,Microtom,Cryotom,Embedding center
and processor (300 cassettes). I would really appreciate comments from
anyone who really likes, or dislikes the machines that they are using.
Our plan is to get an automatic coverslipper as well.
Thanks in advance!!!
