I agree that these pens are excellent.
Many years ago at the National Naval Medical center in
Bethesda, MD we had an entire run of cassettes marked with
"Xylene-proof" markers come out of the processor with all
the ink dissolved and NOTHING on the cassettes!
Fortunately, we had everything in order with a grossing log
and were religious about keeping the order of grossed
cassettes.
This was a scary deal.
SO I WILL NEVER TRUST THESE FOR CASSETTES, but I DO THINK
that KP markers are great and the MOHS tech at the last
practice and lab i worked for uses them.
KP definitely good. I don't recommend any you havent used
before...or test them first. A bad batch of ink and your
entire run is blank.

Hi there,
I was wondering what your hospital/centre's pathology policies indicate
in terms of the time you retain prosthetic valve specimens? Months?
Years?
thanks for your feedback,
Anne Marie

I agree as well! - I use them to mark everything, even things that don't
get treated with chemicals.
One note: they work best if you mark hard non-porous surfaces (like the
plastic cassettes) the day before to give the ink time to bind with the
material.
Regards,
Merced

Hi there,
I was wondering what your hospital/centre's pathology policies indicate
