Side note question - How are you dealing with the timing issues with
breast specimens being fixed in formalin for greater than 48 hr in
regard to her-2 requirements with not working Saturdays?

We have been having processing problems for a while now and cannot
resolve it. It only happens on weekends. When we embed and cut on Monday
morning, alot of our larger pieces of tissue, especially  breast, are
not fixed and processed well. I would expect the opposite especially
since they are in formalin for an additional 48 hours. We do not work
Saturdays (sorry guys) so the tissue is grossed and submitted on Friday.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would be and what I can do to
fix it. Thanks so much. Robin Taylor HT Butler County Medical Center
