[Histonet] Snap freezing muscle tissue for metabolic testing

[Foshey, Annette]

Fellow histonetters:

The ordering physicians/neurologists are saying that the metabolic testing is not accurate because of the way the muscle tissue is being handled currently. Does anyone have specific references that would be helpful in the argument for implementing snap freezing muscle tissue in the OR verses the reference lab when the reference lab is less than 30 minutes from the OR?

Thanks in advance,
