Hi dear histology experts, I will greatly appreciate if somebody can let me know the estimated number of slides (with 3 sections per slide) per day on average a lab technician can cut (of frozen tissue). I am a lab technician ( not a histotech) and work alone in a highly complex testing specialzed low volume dermatology lab.My job description includes 30 % of immunohistochemistry related dutites. I cut skin frozen sections and do immunohistochemistry manually for several years . My routiene panel consists of 12 antibodies for T-cells surface markers. Ocassionally I add another panel of 8 antibodies for B-Cells. I am very slow in cutting sections and strugle a lot to get good sections. If I spend entire day ( 8 hours) just cutting 3-4 section on each slide with slow speed. What number of slides should be considered as efficent cutting? What number of blocks (12 slides for each block with 3-4 sections) should I finish in one day? Help me please if you can. Thanks. Soofia
