[Histonet] Block cutting protocols

[Gayle Callis]

Never!  Hmm, this could be a legal tissue issue, if you mix up a case or 
pick up the bad guys (cells as floaters) with onto a slide with next case 
negative good guys and the good guy gets the WRONG diagnosis, you may be 
seeing your attorney.  Worked in a lab where this was forbidden, and we 
carefully skimmed the top of the waterbath between cases with a kimwipe to 
pick up last ribbon garbage.   There is always a chance you may have a cell 
you don't want, but we tried to minimize the chances of this happening 
between all cases.
