Embedding NO Cutting ABSOLUTELY NO Staining, ONLY if with auto-stainer (putting slides in/out of the instrument) Cover-slipping ONLY with automatic instrument (slides in/out) Sticking labels to hand written slides if the slides are not pre-written Filing slides and blocks YES Matching slides with paper work YES Delivering slides to pathologists YES Arranging blocks/slides to cut YES Anything that does not involve a technical skill, training or certification. A good laboratory aid doing all the above mentioned tasks can improve the histotechnologists productivity 2.5 times René J.

Other than accessioning. Embedding? Cutting? Staining? Where is the CAP line on what is technical and what is non-tecnical? I am not fluent in CAP and would like to know what you all think.
