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.

Hello all,

 I was wondering what everyone uses to secure biopsy and scant tissues through 
processing. 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

Histoscreen cassettes will work as well. Generally the cassette options are 
expensive and may not work in all cassette printers, if you are using one.

Ultimately, get samples of whatever you like to use.

Re: [Histonet] Tissue processing question

[Shirley A. Powell via Histonet]

Not advertising but I do a lot of research on tiny pieces of tissue and have 
found the perfect cassette from Cancer Diagnostics.  It is the Vortex 
corner-less ones seen here.
http://cancerdiagnostics.com/index.php/cassettes-accessories/microbiopsy-cassettes-and-specialty-cassettes/vortex-biopsy-cassette.html

They have two sizes in these.  I have to process specimens the size of a gnat's 
eye and they do not get lost.  No corners to deal with.

LOL, we used cigarette paper worked fine.
Now we use screen cassettes or HistoGel processing if super tiny.

[Rene J Buesa via Histonet]

Sponges can cause a compression artifact leaving some sort of "imprint" on the 
surface of the biopsy, especially kidney and prostate Bx.I my experience tissue 
paper is the best option. If you are having difficulties with the wrapping, you 
can use "tea bags".René
