I had issues with the warranty on one of my processors because of sponges.
It would be interesting to hear from Milestone and other vendors about this
issue.
I discontinued the use of sponges decades ago~

Jay Lundgren thought of several more things I didn't think of.
It's essential to get the biopsy cores strung out straight - remember the
pathologist has to measure them on the slide. You do of course have to use
two of the blue sponges.
If the tissue is adequately fixed, you shouldn't get crush a
I would like to amplify Dr. Richmond's comments by saying that the
grossing and embedding are absolutely critical with prostate bxs.

Our histology supervisor, Andrea O'Brien, asked me to post the reference
for our prostate biopsy inking technique. Andrea did a lot of the
development work and is one of the co-authors. The reference is:

Laurie Colbert asks about processing prostate needle biopsy specimens.
The subject is extensively reviewed in this month's or last month's
Archives of Pathology. Your pathologists have copies of this if they're
fellows of the College of American Pathologists. Here's the method as

Currently we use the sponges but have always had problems with getting the
cores to be straight and getting a whole core in one tissue section. Plus
counting the cores and correlating that at embedding.
However, we are testing out a system called SmartBx that is an entire system
starting at ta
it. Hope that
helps.

I have seen these cassettes and while they are nice they are rather expensive
and with re-embursemnt down everyone is looking at their budget. Also due to
the design and the use of bar codes they do not always fit in the engravers. I
still like the idea but with the amount of prostates we do m

I have discovered a wonderful cassette from Cancer Diagnostics, it is called
the Autocassette and has an oval concave cavity with no corners for small
pieces of tissue to get caught in and the solutions pass through it very
nicely. I use it for small research samples, like shrimp gills similar
