[Histonet] RE: Animal Tissue/Human Tissue

[Anne Murvosh]

My first job was at a lab that did both human and animal (till a case got mixed up)  the only difference I found was animals were fattier and hairier.  Same microtome.  Anne

Subject: [Histonet] Animal Tissue/Human Tissue

Has anyone used the same microtome to cut animal tissue as well as human tissue?  We are a hospital clinical Histology lab being asked to provide research study slides from nonhuman sources.  Anyone have an input or precedence?  I couldn't find anything that specifically prohibits this practice from the CAP.  Thanks for the help in advance!!
