After processing, how do you determine the order in which to cut and stain the blocks..numerical or priority driven? 2. Do you adhere to the 6-72 hours of fixation for breasts or make certain all breast tissue is fixed for a minimum time of, say, 24 hours but, of course no longer than 72? I appreciate your responses and thanks for your time!! I am retiring at the end of this year and trying to optimize some processes beforehand:).
