[Histonet] cellblock

[Campbell, Tasha]

What is the best collection fluid for FNAs for cellblock?  I used to use Saccomano fluid at another lab, but we are bringing them in house at my current lab and the cytopath told me to have them do the needle rinse in formalin.  Is formalin fine for that?

Thanks!
