[Histonet] unstained slides

[Lester Raff MD]

Cindy:

If these outside facilities are commercial labs doing proprietary
testing, many of them will pay a set fee to your laboratory for
preparing the slides.  This needs to be negotiated with the commercial
lab rep, but may be in the $40-50 range

Subject: [Histonet] unstained slides

Hello Histonetters,

 

Recently we have seen an increase number of unstained slides requested
from
outside facilities. We do not release our blocks, so unstained slides
are
the only option for any facility to obtain our tissue. Currently we do
not
charge for these slides, but I am rethinking that policy. What is
everyone
doing about unstained slide requests? Are you charging for the slides?
How
much per slide?  Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Cindy
