I work in a GI lab we cut one slide with four sections the first two sections are placed on the top half of the slide then turn ten more and then add it to the first two sections. If recut's are required we pick up the first few sections depending on the pathoIogist request. I hope this helps.

Not that I know, but beware: not because the GI biopsies are small it means that they can be fixed for less time. The fixation mechanism with formalin (penetration → binding → cross linking = fixation) is independent of the size of the sample. It is a time related event dependent on the chemistr

We have all stations set at 10 minutes, except for the last xylene and the last two paraffins - which are 15 minutes each. We actually have the two formalins at one hour and one and a half hours, in case someone mistakenly puts the big tissue on the bx processor - at least they will be well-fixed b
