[Histonet] FW: Her2....HELP

[Rathborne, Toni]

We let the breast fix in a bread-loafed state for the desired amount of time (usually overnight). It is then sectioned and placed in cassettes. Whatever time the tissue is in formalin on the processor should be calculated so that it doesn't exceed the 48 hour CAP/ASCO guideline.

Hi Netters,

I am attempting to write a processing schedule (VIP) for  breast bx's
and breast tx for Her2 fixation.  We send the blocks out for testing but
I cannot get my brain around this schedule for the processing piece.
The lab is 24 hours with only one person from 7pm until 10 pm.  We work
weekends also.  Would someone please let me know how they schedule the
fixation and processing of these specimens.  
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Carole
