Presented by: Debra Siena, HT(ASCP)QIHC, StatLab Medical Products, McKinney, TX
The silver stains used and performed in the histology lab are complex
and diverse. They provide an everyday unique challenge to histologic preparation and staining results. Generally, five various chemical categories are used for this application. These include
argentaffin, argyrophilic, impregnation, oxidation-reduction, and metallic-metallic reactions. They stain and demonstrate a wide array of tissue components and constituents including bacteria,
fibers, basement membranes, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, and axons. Examples and chemical mechanisms of each technique will be examined and discussed. Other nuances of these procedures will be
discussed from an end user perspective. Stain automation has prevented a full comprehension of key reactions that occur during these silver procedures. A wet workshop demonstrating two of these
procedures will also be included in the presentation. The participant will have the opportunity to perform a GMS and Reticulin silver hands on stain procedures and have key reactions/mechanisms
discussed during the procedure. An objective understanding of silver staining concepts will be the focus and better prepare the histologist for the challenges that will present themselves with these
procedures.
This webinar is part of the 2020 Laboratory Webinar Series.
Laboratory Webinars are a great, inexpensive way to provide continuing education to a large number of employees.
The cost for each session is the same regardless of the number
of attendees.
*Earn CEU's - One CEU per attendee per session
*Group Learning - Unlimited # of participants for one low fee
*Archive Sessions - Archived
materials are available for 1 year to train new staff - AND STILL EARN CEUs!
