I would suggest by cassette numbers. It will take some data collection, but once you settle on the number of cassettes, then you will have the process in control. The actual number will depend on the tissue types placed in the cassettes and the amount of blood, lipids and other elements extracted. Start with a minimum of 600 cassettes and see see what additional cassettes can be processed without losing quality.
