We've been doing this for years. You'd be surprised with the overall savings
(slides, frequency of changing stains, storage), and also TAT since you'll be
able to put through more cases on your stainer.

We cut 3 levels on one slide. Each level typically has two sections across the
slide. If there are multiple pieces of tissue that need to be embedded in a
little larger mold, we put 3 levels on 1 slide by breaking away the excess
paraffin

We put 3 levels on the same slide when specimen size allows.
