We use baskets here.  They get them from office depot.  Put each case in one basket and then put on a cart to deliver to the grosser.  For big specimens that don't fit we just set the container on the grossing table.

Subject: [Histonet] Accessions/ lean

My facility currently takes specimens out of plastic bags, accessions the case, and then stuffs the specimens back into the plastic bags.  One of the residents mentioned that other places put the specimens into plastic bins for the grossers.  I have been asked to evaluate the feasability of this, but I have never seen it done, don't know how the bins would stack, how many different sizes would be needed, how much room it would take up, etc. 

If anyone that does this can comment or better yet could provide a photo(s) of the bin set-up at accessioning/grossing that would be great.  Thanks in advance!!"
