[Histonet] bone marrow clot
From: | "Demarinis, Carolyn" |
We receive bone marrow specimens collected by oncologists in their
office.
The bone marrow CLOT is immediately put in Bouin's fixative, fixed
overnight
and processed in a paraffin block.
We are having a very difficult time cutting sections from the clot
specimen.
We have no problem cutting the bone biopsy.
I have been told the difficulty might be caused by the oncologist using
heparanized syringes.
Does anyone have any suggestions that might help us prepare acceptable
slides from the clot?
Thanks.
