Pretty cool. Fun accessories at really good prices. Don't know if I would buy much but I loved 2 pair of earrings on there that were soldout!

Does anybody know where we can purchase wire or plastic tissue cassette baskets for our grossing stations.  We are looking for baskets that will keep the cassettes in line similar to the old VIP 3000 metal baskets with dividers.  In our workflow we later transfer the cassettes to processing baskets.   (Looked into purchasing more processing baskets, but at 400-500 a basket that doesn't seem to feasible.)  Surely someone has old wire baskets or new plastic ones.  Thanks for your help.

Is there any problem (to tissue or processor) adding tissue fixed in a formalin substitute to a processor where 10% NBF is used?
Thanks,

I supply Excell to a clinician allergic to formalin.  These are small GI biopsy specimens and I place them directly into our 10% NBF (thus, no special handling) and see no difference in the histology, nor is there any problem with sectioning.  F Tryka, M.D.

Is anyone out there in Histoland willing to share their minimum productivity standards for embedding and microtomy.  Quality is just as important as quantity.

Hi Histonetters!  Does anyone have a protocol for fixing, processing, sectioning brown adipose?  I don't have any experience with adipose so a detailed description would be fantastic.  I think the tissue will be coming from squirrels.

Thanks!
