Re: GI biopsy blues
Donna,
Is your lab manager a histotech (in other words, is she talking from
experience)? I have some techs here that insist on soaking everything,
too, and it drives me crazy. When I sit down and cut, I do not need to
soak everything. Of course there are some blocks that do need to be
soaked and I will soak those. I blow on my blocks as I cut and this
seems to help.
I don't know if you have another processor that you could put the
biopsies on, but a shorter run would definitely help with the dryness of
the blocks.
