Tissue artefacts caused by sponge in embedding cassettes

J J Kepes et al. Am J Surg Pathol. 1991 Aug.

Abstract

Sponges in embedding cassettes may cause disruptive imprints on the tissues being processed and therefore should not be used in processing tissues. Tissue or lens paper is recommended as a substitute to prevent losing small pieces of tissue through the perforations of the cassette.
