In addition to what Jennifer suggested, I don't know what your case load
is or how many techs there are at your facility but we get quite a few
heart biopsys. We are a research facility so I don't always have a
regular run every day. If that is the case I put my biopsys on a much
shorter run that I have preprogrammed on my VIP. If I do have a regular
run, I run it, then after it comes off the nest morning, I immediately
run the clean cycle and then load my biopsys on a "rush" run that gets
them out to me in about four hours the same day. I agree with Jennifer,
the samples do sound dehydrated. If you would like my run time I will be
more than happy to send them to you. Betsy
