[Histonet] processing times for skin specimens

[Liz Chlipala]

We are a research lab but we have always processed our skin samples on
longer processing cycles, even the punch biopsy samples.  The shaves
might be different, if I wanted to cut down I would start with how you
normally process them and then cut down at 5 minute increments to start
and see how that goes.

Subject: [Histonet] processing times for skin specimens 

Hello everyone!
What is the shortest cycle you may be using for processing skin
specimens?  Can skin biopsies, shaves, and punches be processed well on
a short run on the VIP 6?  I need to find a successful protocol if
possible to run skins on a 6 hour process, if possible.
Thank you in advance for any input.
