[Histonet] Tissue needed

[Curt Tague]

This might be an unusual request and I think I may have already asked in the past too... but here goes...

I'm working with a company who is developing a new tissue processor which basically cuts processing time in half. We've run a number of parallel tests to demonstrate the results are equal to the traditional methods we've been  using forever but now we need some tumors too. We've run the normal H&E, special stains and a large number of IHC, what's missing is the molecular tests at this point. We have a few tumors but we are looking for more to provide a large enough data pool for the entities we present to. With that, I'm hoping someone might be able to assist us with tumors, when the tumor is large enough that not all is necessary for diagnosis. We have a proprietary fixative that we would send to ensure that the tissue is not in formalin for an extended period of time.


Also, some of you have experience with stuff like this... our pathologists do as well but I'm curious whom some of you would recommend submitting this data too when it's complete and if you know a pathologist who might be interested in participating in the review of the slides?

Please email me if you are able to help.
