Fixation protocol for processing and paraffin embedding
modified: 2013-09-24T22:51:03.208Z
has_url: http://www.mmc.edu/research/core/tissue/tissue_resources_services.html
resource_description: "Fixation Protocol For Processing And Parffin Embedding: • Samples submitted for processing MUST be properly trimmed (not to exceed 5 mm in thickness), and fixed in reagent of choice according to your protocol. However the most commonly used fixative is 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin (NBF). The laboratory keeps 10% NBF, sponges, and cassettes available. Samples that have been properly fixed should be transferred into 70% ethanol alcohol and taken to the laboratory for further processing. Please call the histology staff if you need guidance in these procedures. •All submitted tissue should he placed in cassettes and properly labeled with a unique ID number assigned by you. Please do not fill the cassettes to capacity with tissue. This practice will result in poor tissue processing. •Cassettes should be labeled and identified using the following system: JD08-####-tissue type. Where JD represents the first letter of the first and last name of the investigator, 00 represents the last two digits of the year, and #### is the unique ID number given by the investigator along with the tissue that is in the cassette. An example: for Jane Doe in the year 2007, 253 is the investigators unique ID number assigned by him/her and the tissue submitted is ovary. Would be: JD08-253-Ovary •Use a soft #2 pencil or Secureline Marker II/ Superfrost to label the cassettes. Do Not Use Sharpie Markers. The ink can’t with stand the chemicals used in processing. •For projects that require specially coated slides, please provide these slides at the submission of your project to the histology laboratory. Histology provides slides for routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and IHC staining only. •Clearly identify all tissue containers submitted and all slides provided with investigator’s submitter’s name. •Please give one week prior notification for submissions that have a large number of samples or which will necessitate frequent and continuous submissions to the histology lab."

resource_description: NIS-Elements performs live cell, 6D experiments quickly and flawlessly. It can organize X, Y, Z, Lambda (wavelength) and Time within one integral platform, for easier-than-ever multi-dimensional imaging. Four types of “dimensions” of acquisition – Time, Multipoint, Z-series, Wavelength (Multichannel)— can be selected. NIS-Elements innovative analysis capabilities include object counting, automated measurements, region of intent measurements and time measurements including image ratioing of multi-channel images. Advanced visualization methods, like capturing 3D data sets, 2D/3D data set analysis, and large image stitching can all be performed with relative ease with the software. NIS-Elements offers a rich spectrum of mathematical morphology functions (clean, erode, dilate, open, close, smooth), morphologic separation functions, linear morphology functions, fill functions (fill holes, close holes), skeleton functions (medial axis, skeletonize, pruning) and other functions (such as: binary invert, convex hull, contour, skeletonize, homotopic marking, zones of influence, etc.) Multiple single channel images (captured with different optical filters or under different camera settings) can be merged together simply by dragging from one image to another. In addition, the combined images can be stored to a file while maintaining their original bit depths or optionally can be converted into a RGB image.

resource_description: "The TC10 cell counter completes the counting of mammalian cells—suspended or re-suspended adherent—in one simple step, initiating a count immediately upon slide insertion. Unlike other cell counting devices, which may draw inaccurate conclusions from using a single plane of focus to assess cell viability, the TC10 cell counter scores each sample across multiple planes. The unique auto-focus technology and image analysis algorithm provide accurate and reproducible cell counts in less than 30 seconds for cell concentrations between 5 x 104 and 1 x 107 cells/ml and cells within a 6–50 µm diameter range. Since only 10 µl of suspended cells is required for counting, precious sample is conserved. Cell viability can also be assessed with the TC10 cell counter with the use of trypan blue, a dye which is excluded from live cells and incorporated into dead cells. The system recognizes the presence of trypan blue without user intervention and provides both cell count and cell viability, in less than 30 seconds."
