  1. Not the original poster, but we use them in coolers to the OR and shipping boxes we send to outlying clients. An electronic data logger accompanies units in the cooler to ensure the cooler has remained at temp; Safe-T-Vue ensures that the unit has remained at temp. In our shipping boxes, clients have the option of using the Safe-T-Vue as the sole indicator; though most back it up with a temp gun/thermometer reading on arrival. We're going to stick with Safe-T-Vue, despite the price jump.
  2. We're still rockin' this original setup on our single combined Ortho Workstation. It's trash, but it works. If/when it's time to replace our 2 old separate setups, we will try to source an alternative.
  3. That's the one! And the handle is integrated, but has 2 little screws that allow it to be removed the rest of the integrated assembly. Should be an easy replacement, once we find a match! (We're doing the legwork on this particular project, as our Biomed is very busy!)
  4. Has anyone successfully replaced the telescoping luggage handles on their MaxQ coolers, either with manufacturer provided replacements or "after-market" parts (Amazon?)? We have been using (and loving) our MaxQ coolers for about 4.5 years now. so much so that we've banged up the telescoping luggage handles pretty good. When querying the manufacturer about replacing the handles, they say "Nope! Gotta replace the whole box!"
  5. Not looking for glass, per se... but, we had still been using traditional soda lime blood bank pipettes You know... because... "That's what we always use!" . I guess no one here cares about safety! When we ran into manufacturing shortages of those, we used up the leftover glass borosilicate pipettes from the core lab. Now, we're on to plastic (Cardinal CH5214-12 or CHB521412), which is probably what we'll stick with. Thanks for your input, everyone!
  6. I believe OP is referring to this publication: https://www.aabb.org/aabb-store/product/antibody-identification-art-or-science-a-case-study-approach---print-2285
  7. Well, I feel like a real dope for asking, but, what pipettes are y'all using for your bench testing, these days? My purchasing coordinator is at her absolute wits-end trying to find blood bank suitable pipettes. She has orders in to every manufacturer imaginable for standard blood bank soda lime glass pipettes. Additionally, we've seemingly burned through every available stash of borosilicate glass pipettes she can get her hands on. We've now moved on to the smallest available plastic transfer pipettes (that still deliver a standard blood bank-sized drop), but may need to switch to larger transfer pipettes! Anyone have a source they want to share?
  8. We printed on cardstock, affixed with self-laminating sheets, and labeled with the freezer at ambient temperature.
  9. I just answered this question. My Score PASS  
  10. We do the same. Ours is setup to print the transfuse order both to the blood bank and to the nursing printers.
  11. If you're up for a little more discussion (and a little entertainment ) may I suggest this thread, from 2012? Saline incubation...why is this SOP still allowed?
