[Histonet] Breast Specimen handling

[BSullivan <@t> shorememorial.org]

Sara,
 Funny that this comes up now. I attended a meeting last week and this was
one of the topics. It was suggested that the tissue be stored in 70%
alcohol. I personally have not done this but I am going to start doing
this.

   Hi histonetters

   Was  wondering  if  anyone  saw the new gui= delines for breast Cancer
   specimen  handling  ?  I am sure you have.&nbs= p; What my Pathologist
   is  wondering is if you have a large specimen and do = not use all the
   tissue  for  processing  what  would  the agent  be  to  apply= to the
   specimen  to  stop penetration of the formlalin before the 72 hour ti
me arrives?  Would it be sodium chloride?  Can someone help?
   <= /DIV>
   Thanks
