That is a quantifying question by CAP and refers to keeping track of the number of blocks processed and slides stained either routine (H&E) or special procedures (HC, IHC) daily to get to a monthly and annual figures. CAP does not care about the stocks prepared because how you use your stock solutions is another aspect of the QA. René J.
