Greetings from the Great White North!
	We are wondering what precautions other labs are using for mammatome
protocols to avoid cross-contamination between specimens?  Disposable
forceps?  Ridgeless forceps?  Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated!

	Does anyone flame between specimens while embedding?  What are some
procedures other labs are using?

Thanks in advance!
