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.
