[Histonet] Kurabo AS-200

[Bernice Frederick]

To All:
I can see this: Receive block from outside institution (anywhere in
world) deidentify block by giving unique ID
Save "trims" for DNA
Etch slides so that each slide is an aliquot of the block with its own
unique ID
Cut 12 (or more) slides and place on slide so they can be scanned into
ACISII
Cut sections for RNA
And may I mention ALL under sterile conditions which is clean
blade,fresh water, wipe down microtome w/alcohol and forceps etc. after
every block?
Then, after H&E is QC'ed and area of interest indicated, a TMA must be
mapped and made.
Not to mention IHC and extrapolation of data from Path reports!!!
A robot- FAT CHANCE
