[Histonet] RE: Prostate Needle Bx

[aobrien88 <@t> comcast.net]

We are a prostate lab and use regular hinged cassettes with sponges. We ink each case with a different color ink, using 5 colors rotating in order. We microwave process with a program that is around 55 minutes. The program is 100% alcohol, isopropyl and paraffin. We have had great success with it. Hope that helps.

I have seen these cassettes and while they are nice they are rather expensive and with re-embursemnt down everyone is looking at their budget. Also due to the design and the use of bar codes they do not always fit in the engravers. I still like the idea but with the amount of prostates we do my budget will be hit. I also have no more areas on my engraver to put yet another cassette.
