Carol Bryant, CT (ASCP), Cytology/Histology Manager at the Lexington
[Kentucky] Clinic asks?
>>Our surgeons are doing a lot of parathyroid glands for patients with
adenomas. Our pathologist would like to weigh them. Our scale is not that
sensitive. Is anyone using a scale for this too and if so what brand?<<
You need a top-loading balance that will weigh in 10 milligram (.01 g)
increments, up to about 200 grams. Ohaus makes these for Fisher, and there
are other brands. About $500.
Weighing parathyroid adenomas is standard of care, as your pathologist
knows. Persuading the lab manager or assistant administrator is a different
problem.
