We routinely cut 3 levels on 1 slide for almost all specimens. This makes
it easier for all, pathologists, techs and just imagine cost savings for
slides.

We put 3 levels on the same slide when specimen size allows.

Hi folks,
We are re-thinking how we cut our GI biopsy slides. Currently we are
cutting 3 levels with 3 sections on each slide. Is anyone out there
putting all 3 levels on the same slide? We are receiving cases with a
large number of samples and some our pathologists would like to see fewer
slides.
Thanks,

We cut 3 levels on one slide. Each level typically has two sections across
the slide. If there are multiple pieces of tissue that need to be embedded
in a little larger mold, we put 3 levels on 1 slide by breaking away the
excess paraffin around the sections while they're on the waterbath. Then
we can then fit 3 levels on 1 slide but each level will only have 1
section. Hope this makes sense.

Are your specimens large? We cut two levels, with two ribbons on each
slide.
