[Histonet] RE: processing program for biopsies

[Blazek, Linda]

What does look bad mean?  In what way do they look bad?  Do they cut well?  What tissue processor do you use?

Would you experienced histotechs mind to look at this program and see if it would cause skin biopsies to be poorly processed? I think too much time in alcohols.
  The pathologists say they look bad.
Thanks in advance for your help!
