[Histonet] Aluminum Testing
Has anyone ever heard of testing a tissue or body fluid sample for "accrued aluminum"? We have a child who has had multiple immunizations and the parents wanted the specimen tested. Unfortunately, none of this was communicated to us prior to the procedure being performed. Thank you and "Happy Holidays" to everyone. Richard Richard W.

Re: [Histonet] Grossing small biopsies
All our specimens are biopsies. Our minimum requirement for grossing biopsies is a BA in a science field and then our on-site training. We have two dedicated lab assistants trained in this manner. We use one of our histotechs who was trained in grossing elsewhere as a 3rd option, but it is not in the general histotech job description. -- http://www.chicagonow.com/downsize-maybe/2016/12/cant-make-up-your-mind-it-will-be-better-in-the-morning-a-look-at-decision-fatigue/ Lester J.
