[Histonet] Re: Marking Prostate Bx's

[Mitchell, Nancy K.]

We prefer putting 20cc of (Alc. Eosin) in the first 100% alcohol station of our processor. We find that this method gives all of our skin margins enough color to not only aid the tech that is embedding, it also saves one step for our tech that does the grossing.  The color is slightly opaque and does not interfere with the H & E stain.

Our pathologists prefer inking the small stuff with 0.25% alcoholic basic
fuchsin solution.
