The enclosed quality control slides are intended to be used to verify histological techniques and reagent reactivity.  They are to be used for the qualitative purpose of determining positive or negative results, and are not intended to be used for any quantitative purpose.  The first serial section within this control box is stained and provided for your reference.

Newcomer Supply, Inc. takes reasonable measures to deliver quality control slides that are as consistent as possible.  However, the characteristics of quality control slides may be dissimilar due to variations in the reagents, stains, techniques, laboratory conditions, and tissue sources used.

CD20, B-Cell is a marker for detecting normal and neoplastic B-Cells.  B-Cells are generally located inside the follicles in lymph nodes and tonsils.

These control slides are produced from human surgical or autopsy tissues.  At Newcomer Supply we use a manual method of performing immunohistochemical stains, specifically avoiding automation, in order to provide reactive control slides for even the less aggressive methods of staining that our customers may be using.

A section of normal human kidney is included on the slide for use as a negative control.

APPLICATION:

Newcomer Supply Permaslip Mounting Medium is reliable and easy-to-use with excellent results as a standard mounting medium product or as a liquid coverslip (coverglass free) mounting medium.

Permaslip Mounting Medium can also be used in tissue/cell transfer procedures to transfer tissue sections or cell preparations from a prepared microscopic slide when specimen availability is limited and additional diagnostic workup is necessary. Examples when transfer with Permaslip is applicable include:

    • Paraffin sections of small biopsies/minimal tissue
    • Biopsies with a small foci of neoplasm
    • Paraffin block is unavailable
    • Cytology preparations, fine needle aspirates (FNA)
    • Transfer of tissue from an uncharged slide to charged slide(s)
    • Preparing multiple slides from a single slide preparation
    • Salvaging/restoring broken slides back to a whole mount

 

The tissue/cell transfer procedure takes time to obtain a well-prepared end product.  Reduced timings/short cuts should not be taken. Practicing the technique prior to performing on limited specimens is suggested.  Staining quality of tissues/smears will not be affected and histochemical, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and cytochemical procedures can be performed on transferred samples with reliable results.

 

METHOD:

Coverslipping: Paraffin or frozen sections
Tissue/cell transfer: Stained and unstained paraffin sections, cytology preparations and smears

 

COVERSLIPPING PROCEDURE:

    1. Complete staining procedure; dehydrate, clear with xylene and blot excess xylene from slide edges.
    2. Apply Permaslip Mounting Medium to flow over and fully cover the tissue section(s).
        1. Standard coverglass; install one edge first, allowing air bubbles to escape as opposite edge is lowered to slide.
        2. Liquid coverglass (coverglass free); allow to dry for 30 minutes before handling and viewing microscopically.
    3. Dry slides a minimum of 24-48 hours before filing.

 

TISSUE/CELL TRANSFER PROCEDURE:

    1. Mark the designated tissue area(s) to be the focus of the tissue transfer on the underside of original slide with a HistoTec Pen.
    2. For previously stained sections:
        1. Soak slide in xylene until coverslip is easily removed without damage to tissue section.
        2. Run slide through several changes of xylene to ensure removal of residual mounting medium.
        3. Do not proceed through alcohol steps.
        4. See Procedure Note #1.
    3. For unstained paraffin sections or smears:
        1. Soak slides in several changes of xylene, a minimum of 10 minutes. Do not proceed through alcohol steps.
    1. Spread Permaslip Mounting Medium on xylene-coated slides with an applicator stick. Use sufficient Permaslip to form a meniscus over the entire tissue section or cell preparation.
        1. Slide must be xylene coated and not allowed to dry out.
    2. Place slide in a flat horizontal position in a 60°C oven for 90 minutes to 2 hours or in a 37°C oven overnight until meniscus hardens.
        1. See Procedure Note #2.
    3. Mark the surface of the hardened mounting medium meniscus to corresponding areas marked on underside of the slide (Step #1) with HistoTec Pen to maintain tissue orientation in transfer process.
    4. Immerse the slide in a Coplin jar of water warmed in a 45°C-60°C water bath; soak for 90 minutes to 3 hours.
    5. Slowly pry meniscus off at the edges with a scalpel blade. If the mounting medium does not peel off easily, return to warm Coplin jar and continue soaking.
        1. See Procedure Note #3.
    6. Moisten the charged slide(s) that will receive the transferred segment(s) with water.
    7. Divide transferred segment into multiple sections: once meniscus is removed from the original slide, cut with a water moistened scalpel blade into desired segments as marked on mounting medium surface.
        1. Place each cut segment, meniscus side up, onto a moistened charged slide in sequential order.
    8. To transfer one intact segment of tissue; place on the moistened charged slide, meniscus side up.
    9. Soak gauze in warm water; place gauze over tissue section. Using thumb, press gauze flat transferring water to the section, flattening edges and sealing transferred section to slide.
        1. If a transferred section is placed meniscus down, the specimen will not adhere and will be lost in further steps.
    10. Place slide(s) in a 37°C-60°C oven in a flat horizontal position for 1 hour or longer to securely adhere transferred section to slide.
    11. Soak slide(s) in four changes of xylene for 10 minutes each or longer until all the Permaslip compound is completely dissolved.
        1. See Procedure Note #4.
    12. Re-hydrate through two changes each of 100% and 95% ethyl alcohols, 10 dips each. Wash well with distilled water.
    13. Specimen is ready for histochemical, IHC or cytochemical staining.

 

PROCEDURE NOTES:

    1. If any residual mounting medium remains on the slide, tissue transfer and subsequent staining may be compromised.
    2. The meniscus of Permaslip Mounting Medium must thoroughly harden (but still remain pliable) on the slide before proceeding. To avoid brittleness do not exceed 60°C during the hardening process.
    3. If a hotplate was used to initially dry slides or melt paraffin after original sectioning, it will be difficult to remove an entire intact section from the slide. Extended soaking of mounting medium and tissue section does not improve results.
    4. If Permaslip is not completely dissolved from the tissue section(s), subsequent staining may be compromised.
    5. The use of xylene substitutes has not been tested with this product.

Fc Receptor Blocker, Azide Free can be used as a blocking agent to block Fc receptors present on hematopoetic (blood derived), lymphoid cells/tissues and tumor cells and cell lines.  The binding of the Fc region of the primary or the secondary antibody to the Fc receptors present on the surface of leukocytes (white blood cells) or tumor cells gives rise to non-specific binding and is observed as background or non-specific staining in IHC ICC, immunofluorescence and flow cytometry assays.

 

Fc Receptor Blocker, Azide Free does not contain sodium azide or thimerosol and it is therefore suitable for effective blocking of Fc receptors in non-fixed live cells of lymphoid and hematopoietic origin as well as tumor cells and cell lines that carry Fc receptors on their surface.  Fc Receptor Blocker, Azide Free is especially helpful for blocking Fc receptors in tumor cells or cell lines employed in functional assays where sodium azide and other preservatives cause endocytosis and result in cytotoxicity and cell damage.

 

STORAGE CONDITIONS:

Store in refrigerator at 2-8°C through the expiration date noted on the vial label.  DO NOT FREEZE.

 

PRODUCT FORMAT:

Working solution, NO dilution or adjustments necessary.

 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE FC RECEPTOR BLOCKER AZIDE FREE:

For blocking Fc receptors in live cells and for use in functional assays:

Fc Receptor Blocker Azide Free is used for blocking Fc receptors in live cells and cell lines assays that employ live and non-fixed cells; and further for functional assays where presence of sodium azide and other preservatives cause endocytosis, cytotoxicity and cell damage.  Live cell assays and functional assays are varied and are many in numbers.

 

To block Fc receptors, present on live cells and cell lines that express Fc receptors:

Live cells must be exposed to Innovex Fc Blocker for a period of at least 30 minutes.  The optimal incubation time with Fc Blocker must be determined by the lab user for the specific cells, cell lines, species and the assay condition employed.

  1. Add 0.2 to 0.5 ml of Fc Receptor Blocker Azide Free for 106 (1 million) cells.
  2. Incubate for 30 minutes to 1 hour on ice or at room temperature.
  3. Rinse with assay wash buffer or DI water.
  4. Proceed with assay.

 

For Flow Cytometry:

  1. Use whole blood OR lyse or ficol blood as usual.
  2. Add 0.2 ml of Fc Receptor Blocker Azide Free for 106 (1 million) cells.
  3. Incubate for 30 minutes on ice or at room temperature.
  4. Wash twice in assay wash buffer.
  5. Proceed with antibody labeling.
