Our pathologist would like to weigh them. Our scale is not that sensitive. Is anyone using a scale for this too and if so what brand?<< You need a top-loading balance that will weigh in 10 milligram (.01 g) increments, up to about 200 grams. Ohaus makes these for Fisher, and there are other brands. About $500. Weighing parathyroid adenomas is standard of care, as your pathologist knows. Persuading the lab manager or assistant administrator is a different problem.
