Since we never did one, we don't have a written procedure. We are looking for a benchmark or proven written procedure to freeze and ship the specimen to the Joint Pathology Center in Washington DC for processing. We will not perform any other aspects of the procedure, just the freeze and ship. Hope to do this next week. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Ian R. Bernard Ian R.
