Tissue Samples

23.3 Tissue SamplesNote: The change to pitch (12) and font (6) must be converted manually.

Take a small piece of tissue (1 cm square only) and send it in ice to the lab. If this is not possible, samples no thicker than 1 cm can be sent in 10% formalin. There must be enough formalin to keep the samples from becoming rotten. Therefore, however much sample is added, 10 times more formalin must also be added. Formalin bottles must be sealed tightly or they will leak. A report should accompany all samples.
