Hello Histonet,

What is everyone doing regarding cell block preparation?  We have been
using sponges for processing but we've had a recent contamination issue
that may be attributable to the sponges (fluid types vary but mostly
pleural fluids).  We will be testing sponges, biopsy bags, and paper...
anyone have a method they prefer?
