Abstract
Data on the quality of a modified method for producing multiblocks from conventional blocks of paraffin wax embedded histological material are reported. Originally devised as a way of assessing antibodies for immunohistology, the technique is particularly suited to producing a set of reference and teaching material for use by trainee and senior pathologists.
