[Histonet] FS labeling

Thu Oct 16 13:05:39 CDT 2025

For us, the case(accession) number, part type letter, block number, FS level (1, 2, 3, ...)
If there was one part submitted for frozen, that required 3 frozen blocks, each cut at 2 levels, our labels would be:
SR25-0000 - A1 - FS1
SR25-0000 - A1 - FS2
SR25-0000 - A2 - FS1
SR25-0000 - A2 - FS2
SR25-0000 - A3 - FS1
SR25-0000 - A3 - FS2
Each block submitted after the frozen for routine processing would begin with SR25-0000 - A3 and so on

Long time no see.
My question is:
If you had frozen section slides labeled"A FS 1" and "A FS 2", how would you label, or order them?
What's your interpretation?
That's the hot topic today.

Ask the sender of the slides. Who else?

Hi Paula,
is your question about interpretation of labels? I think, each institution has its own "language".

For example, if we devide one lymphnode in two halves, one is labelled with "a" the other one with "b".
The levels are identified with digits (1,2,..).

Good Morning All,
The Histotechs read the slides as part A, frozen section 1 (A FS 1), and part A frozen section 2 (A FS 2).The PA said the slides read part A1 frozen section (A FS 1), and part A2 frozen section (A FS 2).
There in lies the rub.? The PA says his/her interpretation is the most commonly used. The Histotechs say theirs is.
>From my experience, I agree with the Histotechs.
Opinions?

I'm with the histotech on this on this one. I would never put the FS in the middle if the sample was A1. Then it would read A1 FS.
