[Histonet] Processing GMA Specimens

[Snider, Deanna]

Hello again everyone!
You have all been very helpful and I need (yet again) to gather more
information from everyone!  As previously stated, I have little knowledge
working with GMA specimens.  It has been a learning experience for me!
I process clinically engeineered skin samples.  They are very small and
thin. The program I use, (which was programmed into the RMC, EMP5160 when I
took the job) is almost 5 hours long.  The last 3 steps are 100% GMA
preperation solution, each an hour long.   After reviewing other protocols,
this seems quite long for the samples I am working with.  I would appreciate
any protocols or suggestions you may have.  You can email or fax them to me!
Again,  ALL help is greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance!
