[Histonet] cost to produce one block

[Martha Ward]

I am posting this question for a co-worker.   She is attempting to calculate the cost of producing one formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded block.   She has the amount of personnel time it takes but is having trouble with the reagents, etc.   While we know there are lots of variables she is wondering if anyone would be willing to share this information with her.   She is getting differing numbers and is trying to figure out which amount is most correct.    Any responses will be kept confidential.

Thanks!
