LABELING of TISSUE SENT IN FIXATIVE

 

MLabs requests that for biopsy or “wet tissue” specimens sent in fixative (e.g., formalin, glutaraldehyde, Zeus/Michel’s), care is taken to affix the patient label so that the portion of the label on the fixative vial or container showing the name of the solution is not covered so that receiving staff can route the specimen appropriately for testing.
