TissueSAFE is a system for vacuum sealing fresh surgical specimens.  Once
the specimen is sealed into the plastic bag it is kept at 2-8 C until it 
can
be and placed into 10% Formalin.  We did a small trial a few months ago.
The initial results showed that the morphology was virtually the same; the
IHC that we performed was also very similar.  In our trial we only used
single pieces of tissue not entire specimens.  I have no idea how well the
system would work on larger tissues.  The only other trials that we had
heard of were from Italy and Ireland.

I received some information from our surgical suite on the TissueSafe High
Vacuum Biospecimens transfer system.  Is anyone in histo land familiar 
with
this machine?  No price was listed.  This claims to eliminate the use of
formalin from the surgical suite.  This is an alternative of how specimens
are delivered to the laboratory with out formalin from the surgical suite.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sheila
