[Histonet] Tissue processing question

[Caroline Miller]

I really like this type:
https://www.fishersci.com/shop/products/starplex-scientific-histoplex-tissue-cassettes-micromesh-chamber-8/p-2782584

(although I buy them from mastertech, but they seem to have dissapeared
from their website)

They are great for both large tissues, and also biopsies. A long time ago
when I worked in a clinical lab we used the tissue paper and I found that
if everything was not heated just right the biopsies would stick and things
like currettes were hard to scrape up from there, I always thought I was
doing the tissue damage
