My Medical Director published a paper on our procedure. If you would be interested I can ask him to share it with you.

I use it for small research samples, like shrimp gills similar in size to the prostate biopsies, and I lose nothing. I use the yellow ones, VB1005 but they have other colors and also some with smaller grid. Highly recommend them. > > Shirley > > -----Original Message----- > From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu > [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Laurie Colbert > Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2014 11:49 AM > To: Histonet Post (histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu) > Subject: [Histonet] Prostate Needle Bx > > How do others process prostate needle bx's - what kind of cassettes do you > use? Do you use sponges? Do you wrap the tissue in lens paper? Do you process them on a biopsy (short) run? Our bx's always seem to be less than optimal, but we do not have problems with other small bx's. > > Laurie Colbert > _______________________________________________ > Histonet mailing list > Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu > http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet > > _______________________________________________ > Histonet mailing list > Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu > http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet > _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
