[Histonet] bone marrow assisting?

[Lecorchick, William]

The current protocol that we follow here is as follows:  Two green tops are obtained first thing for Flow and Cyto followed by eight smears, from that same syringe then draw air in and place on its side allow a clot to form. From the bone bx make a touch prep rolling the bone between two slides prior to dropping the bone in 10%NBF all slides are air dried. You can pick out the best slide for iron and the rest get a Giemsa stain.
