Cheryl Kerry, HT(ASCP) in Houston TX asks:

>>A client wants us to start reading peripheral neuropathy biopsies. Hoping
I don't have to start from scratch - anyone have processing and prep
procedures including cutting protocols?<<

This is a highly complicated procedure, often involving specialized
dissection techniques ("teasing") and electron microscopy. Peripheral nerve
biopsies are best left to experts - there are just a few labs that do them
- Mayo Medical Laboratories is the only one I know of.

You need to review this subject yourself, and then review it with your
client.
