Productivity can be a touchy subject in the histology lab, but taking a step back and assessing your methods when cutting can not only help your lab, but can also make your work easier.

This webinar will delve into the art of effective communication through insightful role-playing and practical exercises. This workshop is designed to enhance your communication skills and broaden your understanding of its impact.

This webinar will discuss alternatives to Class D aromatic hydrocarbon used daily in the histology laboratory for tissue processing, slide staining, processor cleaning and the removal of coverslips. Alternatives range from unconventional methods using liquid dishwashing soap and cedarwood oil to commercially available alternatives such as isopropanol or SlideBrite. Each laboratory has different needs and requirements for tissue processing and staining. Each laboratory must validate their chosen xylene alternative to validate the method works with their processor and stainer.

Overall, while histology began over four centuries ago, it’s still highly relevant to today’s gene therapy research. The integration of RNAScope, combined with powerful morphological stains, position histology as an indispensable component of the drug development research process.

In this webinar we will share some “Histology Hacks” to properly prepare tissue, an essential but often overlooked element of cryosectioning, and guide practitioners to achieve better cryosectioning outcomes in the research environment.

This session will introduce a practical and customizable protocol to produce high quality whole tick sections using commonly available tools, reagents and standard histologic equipment.

This session will cover all the challenges a histotech might face during microtomy including chatter, compression, divots and more.

This lecture covers solutions to IHC QC problems such as tissue procurement, QC on unstained slides, and dealing with QC failures.

Explore the world of paraffin and what makes it so unique to the world of histotechnology.

This presentation will introduce the concept of analytical reference standards for immunohistochemistry, provide some examples of the different technology as well as examples of their use.

This webinar will review TCs and their potential impacts.

This webinar will introduce three areas: diagnosis, research, and education, where histology play an important role in Vet Medicine. ** This is a free member educational resource and does not qualify for CEUs **

This talk will explore the impact that self-collection and drop-off of specimens, plus the potential for more point of care testing using artificial intelligence can have in giving women better access to healthcare.

Biomarker testing is rapidly becoming the standard method for selecting individualized targeted therapies for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

A good lab operation requires great techs, great pathologists and great processes. The LIS (laboratory Information System) or LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) choice can amplify, good or bad, the capabilities of your lab.

This workshop is designed for histotechs using or wanting to gain more knowledge on common silver stains used in the histology laboratory – such as Reticulin, Steiner & Steiner, Jones, GMS, and Urates Methenamine Silver.

This presentation will describe how the R&D Imaging Platform at AstraZeneca is managed/led. The Imaging Platform contains automatic pipelines that can copy images from multiple instruments, by different vendors, located across the globe, to the cloud (Amazon Web Services in this case).

Spatial-transcriptomics technologies have become more accessible and popular with the commercial release of products from companies such as 10x Genomics, Curio, Nanostring, and Vizgen, to name a few.

Xylene-free processing is a method that many labs are moving toward for a variety of reasons.

There have been many challenges that we have faced with supply chain issues and staffing issues over the last several years. We started with 6 sites that processed, embedded, cut and H/E stained and have consolidated that down to 3 sites.

Has poor staining quality of histology slides bogged down your research results or laboratory processes? We all know that proper tissue processing is a key element to downstream staining quality, but do you know how to properly assess if your laboratory’s tissue processing is effective?

The goal of this session is to provide information regarding ovarian cancer from a survivor's perspective. A basic overview of female reproductive organs, the tissues and cell types found within these organs will be presented.

Histology research can be unpredictable, as research labs often receive diverse samples ranging from regenerative zebrafish hearts to mouse aortic roots and neonatal sheep lungs. Each sample requires specialized handling, processing, sectioning, staining, and often the development of new techniques.

What exactly is grossing? Who is eligible to gross? What kinds of tissue can a histotech gross? These questions and more will be addressed with examples and current regulations.

This session discusses the currently used histological processing techniques in intestinal research using mouse models. Summarize the known techniques such as gut bundling, strips, and swiss rolls
