[Histonet] STP420

[Mike Pence]

I have never used this tissue processor, but I don't understand how it
would be the tissue processor that would be causing the contamination.
Does this processor have different processing chamber? If so, does it
use the same processing solutions? Is all your tissues sectioned on the
same cutting board? By the same cutter?  Just throwing out some general
thoughts.

Good Afternoon,  We have the thermofisher stp 420 processor.  We are
having major cross contamination problems.  Finding brain and placenta
fragments in with other tissue.  Anyone else with this processor having
similar problems?  Thanks, Janice
