For tiny or friable fragments of skin or keratinaceous aggregate debris or mucoid specimens, one method is to use pieces of "hair curler" wraps to place the tissue in and then place the specimen in regular cassette or in between sponges in cassette. You wont lose your specimen and it will process well. Those wraps are available at drug stores or grocery stores. They are cheap.
They are GREAT for tiny derm biopsies >2mm in greatest dimension Regards, Andrew Burgeson histotechnologist _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
