Re: [Histonet] Histonet Digest, Vol 140, Issue 6 Specimen loss
Steve, I totally agree that 7% tissue loss is extremely high. Saying that when you have an experienced pathologist that looks at a specimen and only sees mucoid material he knows that it is most likely that the reagents in the processor are going to dissolve it. We have a very low rate of loss, probably one to two blocks per thousand processed. That's.01-.02%. No one wants to lose any tissue specimen and put the patient through it again but it happens.

A 0.8% loss of tissue is beyond me. Would any one advertise in the local paper that your center of excellence lab loses nearly 1% of your specimens? possibly too small to survive processing is in my opinion, a self-fulfilling prophesy, one to be eschewed and denounced, or beaten out of the grosser who dares use that description for it is an expectation of failure. That grosser would not last a week around me. I would walk them to the train station and ask them not to return. I felt less cantankerous before I read that one. Steve A.

Re: [Histonet] Bone Saw
We use a small band saw from MAR-MED. cuts through a femoral head like a hot knife through soft butter. You let the blade do the job, don't force the bone. Just very little consistent pressure.

I also have one pathologist that wants to cut their own specimens and they do not want anything manual.
