[Histonet] Tissue Processor Validation

[Beth Brinegar]

Yes, we do a few validation runs. Nothing too extreme, however we gross
some extra patient tissue and do a small run, then increase the amount of
blocks processed until we are ready to run cases for patient diagnosis. It
really only takes a week or two. After those blocks are cut, then we
compare them to the previous processor results and make changes if
neccessary.
