Hello, I am a small GI lab and our facility is moving to a brand new building!
The building has yet to be built so I have full control on how to design my
lab. I will have about 1000-1500 sq ft. I was just wondering if anyone had
any tips for me? One thing I want to change is the type of flo

I am a GI lab. I use microwave processing. Specimens are held 2

As of now, my lab took that as you just needed one negative slide per
run. And that negative slide is getting the negative mouse or rabbit
