[Histonet] RE: Muscle Biopsy Procedure

[Bea DeBrosse-Serra]

Ian, 

Check with Children's Hospital in Cincinnati. The Pathology Department there performs a lot of muscle biopsy procedures and gets a lot of outside biopsies as well.

Subject: [Histonet] Muscle Biopisy Procedure

Our lab never had the opportunity to perform a muscle biopsy procedure until now: we have a request for one.  Since we never did one, we don't have a written procedure.

We are looking for a  benchmark or proven written procedure to freeze and ship the specimen to the Joint Pathology Center in Washington DC for processing.

We will not perform any other aspects of the procedure, just the freeze and ship.

Hope to do this next week.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
