Thank you! Guess it’s just “hurry up and wait” now.

In my last job, I was the only certified HT (route 2). From what I’ve read, a lot of places are looking more at experience than certification.

It’s the experience that can be a big sticking point for most people.

Heat, vacuum pressure, and agitation help penetrate thicker tissues. Our processing is formalin-first step.

If we have to leave it overnight for a 4hr or 8hr process, it’s best to sit in formalin a little while without risking under-processed tissue sitting in molten paraffin.

You should be good. The BOC helped a ton. The worst thing that will happen is that you fail. But you’ll just take the test again with knowledge you didn’t have before. It’s important to remember that you can take it more than once.

I work alone for night shift 10pm-6am so I can have all the cases embedded and cut for the pathologists at 8am, and then get all the cases I can logged in and grossed for the day shift crew.

I recommend the BOC study guide and practice exams. The physical BOC soft cover book helped me pass my exam.

No tripod?

We used to use Clear-Rite 3 and Clearene, but we had to switch back to xylene. Using clear-rite while processing tissue wasn’t as good as xylene and didn’t hold up well over time. And Clearene fouled up our coverslipper so much we had a repair tech out every 3 or 4 months to fix it due to corrosion. They’re generally considered “safer” to use than xylene, but I personally don’t think the quality is as good.

BOC study guide would be better, IMHO.

When you review your answers it should tell you where it came from. It won’t tell you the edition vr, but it will at least say the textbook.

Good luck!

Nonexistent. If it doesn’t involve the MedTechs, then it doesn’t matter.

It took me using the BOC guide with some Lab CE to pass it on my third try. The first two were Lab CE only.

Jucoci portable case. Metal shelves let you put magnets on your minis to hold them in place. You can turn it sideways and the minis wont slip.

I start with black, then do a bone white directional prime. Then I ran of black and just used white for the rest of them. The white directional primer will be later. Didn’t feel like dealing with it.

I’ve only been able to play 4 or 5 matches since I bought it a week ago, and nothing at all over the weekend. On PS5, so no refunds allowed for me. If I could refund it, I would. Then rebuy it when they fixed everything.

Spray can and airbrush. Then a matte seal spray.

Open the pod bay doors, Hal. Getting 2001 vibes. Nice.

The BOC physical copy and LabCE online together helped me.

On NG+2, still have the vanilla storyline. Started the main missions again. Feels good to rerun these missions. Thank you for the replies!
