Hi Michael,
   I have always wrapped the cell blocks in lens paper.  If it is a messy one I wrap it 2 or 3 times in lens paper.

Helayne,



<<Hello Histonet,
 
What is everyone doing regarding cell block preparation?  We have been using sponges for processing but we've had a recent contamination issue that may be attributable to the sponges (fluid types vary but mostly pleural fluids).  We will be testing sponges, biopsy bags, and paper...
anyone have a method they prefer?
