[Histonet] Fixation and weekend processing

[Travis Troyer]

I have a question regarding tissue processing.   We do routine processing of tissue where the surgery has been done the same day.   We have recently received a request to do autopsy blocks and a few of the blocks appear to be underprocessed and fairly soft appearing.   I was wondering if we need to change the times in our processor for this and if so how much.   Our current processing schedule is used for biopsies as well as larger specimens.

Thanks,
