With the data you have from your employees, calculate the number of units per unit time you get for the different tasks. Feed your data on Excel and prepare totals per lab and per employee and make graphs that you can display and discuss with your boss and your employees. René J.

Just remember - No formalin, no need for retrieval. In my experience that is the hardest step on tissue sections. It also shortens the procedure a bunch too. Claire From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu on behalf of Emily Sours Sent: Sun 6/17/2012

Dear Sarah, for muscle histology I would recommend Bouin's fixative which give a very good fixation and sectioning properties. If you have a Leica microtome try to use the water bath for sectioning, and also the CoolClamp. This gives the best results. best regards Michael Am 18.06.2012 um
