[Histonet] [External] unprocessed tissue and Excelsior AS issue

[Dessasau, Evan D.]

Hi Mr. Horvath, I work at a Biomedical research facility with non-human primates as the main lab animal.  If you could use wet tissue from non-human primates, you could submit a Specimen Request for access to tissue for your project.  If interested, please email Mrs. Summerville cc'ed here.

Subject: [External] [Histonet] unprocessed tissue and Excelsior AS issue

Hello all,



I have two things to address in this email.



First, I am trying to locate tissue that has not been processed so we can use it for testing of our tissue processors.  Optimally it would be colon but also esophagus as we are a GI lab.  Does anyone know where I can find such tissue (in the US preferably)?



Second, we use the Epredia Excelsior AS processor and have run into issues with the processing of tissue where portions of small biopsy specimens will have sections that appear to not be processed.  It does not happen on every specimen but is consistent enough we are trying to find solutions to this problem.  Hence the non-processed tissue I am trying to locate.



Any help is appreciated!







Thanks,



Andrew
