[Histonet] thickness of slides

[Nancy Schmitt]

Diana-
We cut routine slides at 4 microns.
Blocks marked for lymph node are cut at 2.5.
Prostate needle cores: we cut three levels and save two unstained at each level.
	H&E has two sections - bottom section is always deepest - unstains are taken from in between the upper and lower 	section on the H&E.

Can you tell me what thickness you cut your routine slides for H&E and immuno (in particular lymph nodes).   

Also, your protocol for cutting prostate needle core biopsies.....how many spares you cut and do you designate the level on the slide label if multiple levels are submitted on one slide? 

Thanks

Diana
