Thanks everyone the info really helps. At this time we are not sure of the exact type of tissue but I do know that it is for research. I'll check on the regulations if any about running them together.

Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Histonet] Animal tissue processing Caula, I have processed my fair share of animal tissue and I used the same reagents and times that I used for human tissue. With some animal organ tissue there is the possibility of drying so you need to be careful and watch out for that. You would adjust your times accordingly. I, because of circumstances, always had the animal tissue on their own run. I do not know if there are any regulations that specifically states this. Never heard of any. I'm sure our veterinary crowd can answer that best. Beatrice Sullivan, HT(A.S.C.P.) HTL , AAS, CLSP(N.C.A.)

As a favor to a friend the pathologist would like us to process animal tissue. My questions are could we process the animal tissue on the same processor with the human tissue? And Are there different processing times and reagents for animal tissue? Thanks for any help you can give........
