That makes sense. Know I can see where the processor may be responsible
for the carry over. This is a good thing to know if and when looking for
new tissue processors.

	That processor spins the tissue around and causes much more
agitation than with other tissue processors.  Tissue gets out of the
cassettes easier.  It makes for faster processing, but you have to use
mesh cassettes or wrap placenta and other small friable tissues.

		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
