Are you sure that he wanted to use collodion.?
If so you may want to ask his reasons for using this.
Tissues processed in collodion take a long time to process, lot of technical
skill in cutting.
Also the nail in the project perhaps is that it is very expensive and difficult
to transport because of special handling precautions.
Trust me you do not want the hassles with this material.

Is there any reason why the pathologist can't used agar? It's very
simple to use and non-toxic.

Hi everyone, I am just wondering if any of you out there use this chemical
called colloidion. Our pathologists want to use it for making cell blocks,
but
looking over the msds, it's not very safe. If you use it or have used it
could
you tell me how exactly you stored it and disposed of it. Also if you have any
procedure on how to use it to create cell blocks.
Thank you all for your help,
