[Histonet] Breast Specimen handling

[Maxim Peshkov]

Kathy:
After 48-72 hrs 10% NBF we wash our cassettes during
10-15 mins in tap water, then store it in 70% isopropyl
alcohol (IPA) before processing. You can store tissues
here as long as need. The IPA does not harden it as ethanol.
We using as dehydrant also IPA.
Sincerely,
Maxim Peshkov,
Taganrog,
Russia.
