Hi Silvia,
We process them with the rest of our small stuff. About 3 hours on a Peloris.
We get them and process them on an ASAP run to embed cut stain and distribute
overnight to be on the pathologists desk at 8.

Hi Everyone,
What are the different processor run times for prostate needle biopsies? We
might be processing them and I wanted to get an idea of schedules and average
turnaround time. Are you doing the same day? Overnight?
Thank you,

Hi Jessica,
That's the way we read it here, but in most cases we have probably more like 3
years-worth.

Good Afternoon,
Do we only have to keep lot to lot comparisons for immunohistochemistry and
special stains for 2 years?
I hope everyone is having a good day.
Thank you.
