Not advertising but I do a lot of research on tiny pieces of tissue and have found the perfect cassette from Cancer Diagnostics. It is the Vortex corner-less ones seen here. http://cancerdiagnostics.com/index.php/cassettes-accessories/microbiopsy-cassettes-and-specialty-cassettes/vortex-biopsy-cassette.html
They have two sizes in these. I have to process specimens the size of a gnat's eye and they do not get lost. No corners to deal with.

A long time ago when I worked in a clinical lab we used the tissue paper and I found that if everything was not heated just right the biopsies would stick and things like currettes were hard to scrape up from there, I always thought I was doing the tissue damage yours mills On Fri, Jan 29, 2016 at 10:06 AM, Walter Benton via Histonet < histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu> wrote: > We use hair wrapping paper used for perms.
