[Histonet] contamination

[Moffatt, Loretta]

Has anyone had any issues with cross contamination during the embedding process.  What do other histology labs do to clean forceps during the embedding process?  What steps are taken during grossing to prevent specimen contamination?

When one door closes another opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.
