Good morning all! Would anyone mind sharing their plans for power failure? We
have backup generator power on red plugs but my pathologists want a plan for
what we would do if the power went out AND the backup generator failed.
Thanks for your help!

Erin,
"if the power went out AND the backup generator" , My question is under
what circumstances are they expecting this to happen? That being said and not
enough information, best answer would be send to another lab for processing to
at least protect the integrity of the tissue for future testing until the
electricity issue is resolved....
No electricity means no lights, fume hoods, so hand processing is out and you
should not let the tissue sit in solutions that might jeopardize future
staining longer than recommendation (eg.Her2) and they should state any
variances of normal process in the report.
