Worry more about quality than speed at this time. I measure my staff on quality rather than how fast things get done. It's a waste of time, energy and resources to have to re-cut blocks because of poor quality. Speed comes with time and experience.

I agree with Cynthia.  Practice and setting up a standard system of how you cut.  I do the same thing every time with each block I cut.  Cutting faster is not necessarily a good thing if you are jeopardizing quality just to cut more slides.  It's quality over quantity in my book any day!

I would like to know how many tissues does a experienced histotech is
suppose to cut per hour (routine h&e slides) in the microtome. I am a new
histotech and I would like to know how much tissue do an experienced
histotech cuts per hour. For example if you have 100 tissues per total in
how many hours are you suppose to cut this tissue? or.....tell me how much
you cut at your lab.

Do you have any suggestions on how to cut faster? Thank You.

Hello Jenny,
An experienced tech should be able to cut and average of 1 block every 2.5 minutes.  Embedding is 1 block per minute ave.  Note this is an average.  It includes difficult and easy tissue, cleaning the waterbath after each block, writing/printing the slide number, etc.  There may be variations in each lab that can change these numbers.
Hope this helps.

I agree with Tom.  Janice is correct on her timing numbers.  However; when you are starting out it is  best to get the flow for working at your station than beating a clock.  You will gain your speed with learning accuracy which is more important for the patient at the end.  We are in patient care not NASCAR and should always remember patient first, which translates to accuracy and the best sections we can produce on every slide.  Speed will come as you do more blocks and get better.

Well said Pam.  All the speed in the world means nothing if you can't produce quality slides.  The suggestion to do things the same way every time is a good one.  However, learning what works well on what tissue is very helpful too.  Like icing something that wrinkles or soaking something that shatters, etc.
It all comes from experience.
I plan to retire in 2 months but will keep my foot in the door working casual so that I don't lose my skills.
I love this profession!

Hi all,

We are looking for a system of some sort that will allow us to group interesting cases together for quick review.  We will use this for teaching, visiting scientists, etc.  We want something that will allow for the slides to be stored flat and not in a vertical position, if at all possible.

Anyone know of anything?  We are talking about quite a few cases...maybe 100+.

Vendors welcome to reply.

Thanks in advance!

I would like to know how many tissues does a experienced histotech is
suppose to cut per hour (routine h&e slides) in the microtome. I am a new
histotech and I would like to know how much tissue do an experienced
histotech cuts per hour. For example if you have 100 tissues per total in
how many hours are you suppose to cut this tissue? or.....tell me how much
you cut at your lab.

Do you have any suggestions on how to cut faster? Thank You.

Thanks

We just went through an evaluation for cassette printers that produce a 2D bar code. Top features we looked for:

Print Accession#, last name/first initial, and 2D bar code under 10 seconds a cassette
Minimal jamming/defects of printed cassettes, 1 defect/100 cassette or less
Tubed or taped cassettes for hoppers for quick and easy loading
Cost of cassettes available for use
time and complexity of daily, weekly, monthly maintenance of instrument
Ease of use by employees
Interfaced to multiple LIS
Compatible with work flow software and vendor supported

We found that the cassette printers fell into three are types of printers available, tape/ribbon transfer, ink jet and laser etching. All three types have there pluses and minuses.
