[Histonet] RE: Histonet Digest, Vol 10, Issue 22

Not sure if this is what you are looking far.  
 
CHROMIUM HEMATOXYLIN SOLUTION.
  
Hematoxylin, 1% aqueous solution................................   50.0 cc.
Chromium alum, 3% aqueous solution..............................   50.0 cc.
  
To 100 cc. of chromium hematoxylin add 0.1 gm. of potassium iodate.  
Boil until a deep blue.  The mixture is ripe immediately anc can be used
as long as a film with a metallic luster forms on its surface in a Coplin
jar.  Filter before use.  Hope this helps.  If you would like I will fax
this procedure to you.

We have all slides and blocks dating back at least 30 years or more. We 
have received many requests over the years for slides that are older than 
10 years--so this is a very valid concern, IMHO. We have a separate store 
room where these slides and blocks are kept. Our Neuropathologist does not 
want anything discarded--don't know what we'll do when the storeroom fills 
up--but we will be able to pull slides/blocks if needed. I do agree that 
this policy should be reviewed.

Hello Netters,
 I had previously posted a message on starting a control cutting business.
Well I did it!!!  Thank you for all your help. My website is the only thing
I have left to finish. If anyone needs any assistance in control slides or
just cutting blocks I would love to help you. Now you at least have one more
resource.    I hope this is ok content to post.        Thanks again...

LOL! I do use tea strainers in the gross room (American tea 
strainers...). Almost anything will stain them - an H&E is fine. They 
are PAS+, AFB+ Gram+ etc

It might be better to culture for actinomyces... If this is a serious 
possibility

As I recall...
