[Histonet] Blocks for Send Out Studies

[Malek, Jack M]

Hi Everyone,

Recently learned that some pathology labs send out slide sections in
place of blocks for reference studies. They withhold the blocks for
obvious reasons such as; to prevent losing tissue in transport, to
determine which studies to exhaust the block for, preventing laser
destruction of the block associated with certain molecular studies.  

Is this becoming the standard in practice?  

Happy Holidays,
Jack
