[Histonet] Floater Problem

[Jennifer MacDonald]

Are the floaters present in the paraffin block or just on the slides?

[Histonet] Floater Problem






I am starting a PI project concerning floaters on slides.  I am
collecting data and determining whether the floater is in the block or
on the slide.  If the floater is in the block, it either came from the
grossing step or the embedding step.  Of course, both the PA and the
embedders swear that they clean their forceps and their work surfaces
diligently.  My problem is in determining where the floater actually
came from.  Any suggestions??

 

Thanks,

Laurie Colbert
