We use hair wrapping paper used for perms. It is the same paper called "biopsy wraps," but at a significant price reduction. You can buy a variety of sizes and the wraps do not cause artifacts and are porous enough for ample solution penetration. Biopsy paper comes in blue and other colors, but the hair wraps only come in white. Our overall experience with them has been great.
Let me know if you need any other information.

Also what would you recommend placing breast cores in for processing. Having an argument with grossing staff and pathologist about whether to use sponges, tissue paper, or something else. Looking for the best option that will allow for reagents to penetrate tissue and not leave any artifact -- Charles Riley HT(ASCP)CM Histopathology Coordinator/ Mohs Doctors Pathology Services, Dover DE _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The information contained in this electronic message is intended solely for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above and may contain information that is protected from disclosure under applicable law.
