[Richardson, Pam K via Histonet]

Does anyone know where I can purchase a shelf that would attach to Mopec 
grossing stations? I have a picture of one but cannot find one to order.

[Histonet] FNA

[Richardson, Pam K via Histonet]

We have created a histology assistant role that goes out on bone marrows and 
thyroids. The HA must have the education requirement to eventually take the HT 
ASCP exam.  All other FNAs are either done by the pathologist or 
cytotechnologists. We have talked about have HAs go out on the ones that do not 
require adequacy but found that to be too complex to setup at the time.

I am curious as to how you manage washing your glass ware. Are you using a

disposable?

I appreciate any feedback.
