[Histonet] Turnaround time for Research Pathology

[Randolph-Habecker, Julie]

Folks,

 

I am looking for some standard turnaround times for histology services
including processing to embedding, processing to H&E, and processing to
H&E and IHC. Does anyone have that data?

 

Also, how do other folks handle "standard turnaround time" for research
samples? We may get anything from 5 specimens to 300 specimens that just
need paraffin processing and 1 H&E. Or we may get a request for 10
samples for paraffin-processing, 10 slides each with 2 H&E and 7
different IHC stains per case.

 

Any insight on this would be very helpful.

 

Thanks,

 

Julie
