Hi Silvia,
We process them with the rest of our small stuff. About 3 hours on a Peloris.
We get them and process them on an ASAP run to embed cut stain and distribute
overnight to be on the pathologists desk at 8.

Hi Everyone,
What are the different processor run times for prostate needle biopsies? We
might be processing them and I wanted to get an idea of schedules and average
turnaround time. Are you doing the same day? Overnight?
Thank you,

How do others process prostate needle bx's - what kind of cassettes do you use?
Do you use sponges? Do you wrap the tissue in lens paper? Do you process
them on a biopsy (short) run? Our bx's always seem to be less than optimal,
but we do not have problems with other small bx's.
