[Histonet] embedding

[McMahon, Loralee A]

If you are embedding skins and they all have to be on edge.  And some of them are bisected or tri-sected and you have to put two to three pieces of skin in one cassette all on edge.  I would say a good tech could do about 45-50  per hour. 
If they were all punches, then 60 would be about right.

On average, how many blocks should a tech with 6 years experience be able to embed in an hour? This is a dermpath lab, where the majority of our specimens are shave and punch biopsies. Thanks, Cindy
