Good Morning Listers,
How many out there will process tissue and then leave the cassettes at room
temperature and embed it at a later time (hours or the next day)?
Please send me your opinions about doing this. I think it?s a bad idea,
others I speak with disagree.
Sincerely,

Hi Paula,
We routinely do this, especially for our fetal autopsy blocks.
We are then able to process and let them set at room temp until we are able to
embed and cut.
Some cases are more urgent than others so these can be expedited a lot easier
since they will only need embedding, sectioning and staining. We also get best
usage of our limited processing capabilities.
It is more efficient
