Processing seems adequate.
After processing, how long do they sit in the embedding centre block holding
tank before embedding?
We found that quite a few antigens were affected when we stored control tonsil
in the embedding centre (dry) at 60oC for a few days before embedding. In

Good afternoon Fellow histonetters!
I was wondering if there are any tertiary institutions out there that have
set a benchmark for reprocessing tissue? We tend to be less than 1%, but

Thank you.
