[Histonet] Specimens for Gout

[Piche, Jessica]

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you all had a nice weekend. What are people doing to process gout specimens? Are you fixing them in Absolute alcohol (and for how long), and then loading on tissue processor starting in xylene?  I'm hearing different things and am curious about what other people are doing.

Thank you,

Jessica
