We put 3 levels on the same slide when specimen size allows.

Subject: [Histonet] GI biopsy slides
Hi folks,
We are re-thinking how we cut our GI biopsy slides. Currently we are cutting 3 levels with 3 sections on each slide. Is anyone out there putting all 3 levels on the same slide? We are receiving cases with a large number of samples and some our pathologists would like to see fewer slides.
Thanks,

We cut 3 levels on one slide. Each level typically has two sections across the slide. If there are multiple pieces of tissue that need to be embedded in a little larger mold, we put 3 levels on 1 slide by breaking away the excess paraffin around the sections while they're on the waterbath. Then we can then fit 3 levels on 1 slide but each level will only have 1 section. Hope this makes sense.

Are your specimens large? We cut two levels, with two ribbons on each slide.
