concave cavity with no corners for small pieces of tissue to get caught in and the solutions pass through it very 
nicely.  I use it for small research samples, like shrimp gills similar in size to the prostate biopsies, and I lose nothing.  I 
use the yellow ones, VB1005 but they have other colors and also some with smaller grid.  Highly recommend them.

>  How do others process prostate needle bx's - what kind of cassettes do you use?  Do you use sponges?  Do you 
wrap the tissue in lens paper?  Do you process them on a biopsy (short) run?  Our bx's always seem to be less than 
optimal, but we do not have problems with other small bx's.
