RE: [Histonet] procedural safeguards when accessioning identical sources
Carol We mark all our prostates with dye for ease when embedding. For prostates that need to be accessioned in order we alternate the color of the dyes, hematoxylin, safranin, eosin. When grossing, the color of the dye used is in the dictation. Hope this helps.

This helps us to ensure if there is a mix up the pathologist can tell when reading the case. For example if the specimen source is a skin and they have an endocervical they would know. We are soon to be getting a higher volume of prostates and will have to accession them together. What kind of procedural safeguards do you have in place when working with a high volume of identical sources?

RE: [Histonet] procedural safeguards when accessioning identical sources
We use different colored cassettes. We have 6 different colors and rotate them with the cases. The color of the cassette is also dictated as part of the gross description. We use the same color of slides as the cassettes to carry this one step further.
