[Histonet] PROTOCOL FOR COLOR CODING BIOPSY CASSETTES

[Rene J Buesa]

There is no standard for color cassettes. That will be your choice. I used the following:
Green for "rush" specimens. Yellow for skins. Pink for bone marrows. Blue for autopsy specimens. Violet for gastric biopsies. White for routine specimens.
Prepare something like this and submit it to your pathologist for approval.
