RE: [Histonet] Extended processing for breasts

Generally the easiest thing to do is to extend your time in the 70% ETOH or other low percentage ETOH. This allows you to have a cut off on the weekend vs Friday. We had times of 24 to 48 hours depending upon weekend holiday rotations etc... Walter Benton HT(ASCP)QIHC Histology Supervisor

RE: [Histonet] band saws

You don't need a large powerful band saw to cut bone. Bone is quite soft compared to the kinds of substances, particularly metals, which those larger band saws can handle. I bought one for my lab over 12 years ago, the smallest, cheapest Craftsman model Sears carried, and it's still going
