We are moving to timing everything.  From ishcemic time (time out of patient to time in formalin).  And also the length of time in fixation.  More so that we can track something back if there is a problem anywhere along the line.

Is any one timing fixation for GI biopsies like  breast cores for GISTs to do IHC on ? If so , how long? Thanks.
