Fatty Tissue Processing

This is an example of a fatty/brain processing protocol with a closed-system processor, using standard processing reagents and also using pressure/vacuum. The tissue has been mostly fixed prior to processing. Notice how much more time fatty tissue requires in each reagent. Typically, fatty tissue requires approximately 4 or 5 hours MORE processing time than routine surgicals. Fatty tissue that is processed on a routine processing protocol may need to be reprocessed if the tissue is found to be mushy or greasy.
