For tiny or friable fragments of skin or keratinaceous
aggregate debris or mucoid specimens, one method is to use
pieces of "hair curler" wraps to place the tissue in and
then place the specimen in regular cassette or in between
sponges in cassette. You wont lose your specimen and it will
process well. Those wraps are available at drug stores or
grocery stores. They are cheap.
They are GREAT for tiny derm biopsies >2mm in greatest
dimension
