[Thomas Podawiltz]

Too general of a question. What type of biopsy? Minimum of 6 hours, maximum of 72 hours for breast.

Good morning everyone,
        I have a question on biopsy formalin fixation time. How long should we let the biopsies set and fix in formalin before we gross/process them? You response is greatly appreciated.
