RE:Prostates
From: | Charles.Embrey@carle.com |
Jennifer, I use disposable microtome blades because they are longer and sharp
enough to get a smooth cut. The thickness varies a little but I have never
found it to be a problem. Do you submit the entire gland? I only submit
random samples from right and left and save the rest for possible regross. So
far I only have to submit more tissue about 5% of the time.
