[Histonet] standard for H&E staining and special stains

[Sharon McLaughlin]

Is there a standard list out there for how many minutes it takes to do an
H&E stain and also the special staining?

We are trying to get a standard set up for our lab for billing purposes
and for work load credits.

Also is there a list of what stains go into which grouping?  I know there
is a grouping with 1 through 5.

We also need to know a standard for cutting blocks.  How many minutes it
should take for cutting.

Thanks for your input.
