Sigma-Aldrich公司举办病理组织学染色竞赛

 
 
来自全球的科学家被邀请参加染色比赛，这项活动由Sigma-Aldrich公司赞助发起，这家公司主要提供生物化学和有机化学产品，以及在科学研究和基因研究中使用的试剂盒。

这次竞赛主要是为了激发病理学以及染色科学领域的研究兴趣。竞赛作品是标准显微镜载玻片上的样本，使用永久封片液封片，并用盖玻片覆盖。参赛的作品类别有三种：HE染色、特殊染色盒开放染色类别。投寄作品必须载2005年8月1日之前收到。Sigma-Aldrich公司网页上提供了详细信息。

Sigma-Aldrich公司技术市场部专家Mark Frei解释说：“无论组织学是你的专业或者仅仅是你的爱好，我们都邀请你提供最得意的切片来获取大家的注意并赢得可观的奖金。”竞赛优胜者名单将会在美国Fort Lauderdale举行的2005年组织技术学会第31届年会上公布。获胜参赛作品的显微照片将公布在Sigma-Aldrich公司的网页上。

Histology Stain Contest
 
Scientists around the world are invited to participate in a stain contest, sponsored by Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA), a provider of biochemical and organic chemical products and kits used in scientific and genomic research.

The contest is intended to encourage interest in the field of pathology and the science of staining. Entries should be in the form of specimens on standard glass microscope slides, mounted with permanent mounting media and cover-slipped. There are three categories of submission: hematoxylin and eosin stains, special stains, and an open stain category. Submissions must be received by August 1, 2005. More details are available on Sigma-Aldrich’s website.

“Whether histology is your profession or just a hobby, we invite you to enter your favorite slide to gain some well-deserved attention and possibly win valuable prizes,” explained Mark Frei, technical marketing specialist at Sigma-Aldrich. Contest winners will be announced at the 31st Annual National Society for Histotechnology Convention in Fort Lauderdale (FL, USA) on September 10, 2005. Micrographs of the winning entries will be posted on the Sigma-Aldrich website.
