[Histonet] thyroid processing

[Webb, Dorothy L]

Does anyone have some good tips to processing thyroid tissue from thyroidectomy specimens?  There seems to be a fine line between underprocessing and overprocessing where the tissue becomes brittle.  We currently process them on an overnite run where the tissue is in all reagents for 45 minutes.  We have also tried a shorter run on the Peloris that takes about 6 hours.  Would like to know what others are doing for more optimal tissue processing!!

Thanks so much everyone!
