[Histonet] gout processing procedure

[Stacy McLaughlin]

The specimen must not come in contact with water during fixation and
processing.

Fixation: 100% ethanol

Processing: 100% etoh- 5 min.
		Xylene: 2 changes, 30 min. each
		Paraffin: 3 changes 30 minutes each.

Hope this helps!

Could someone share their gout processing procedure?  The specimen is
fresh, not in formalin.

 

Thanks,
