If the frozen is the "classical transoperatory" test to stain with H&E, nobody I know uses a control and I just don't see the point. Are you going to use a FFPE section that will have to dewax and process as usual delaying the whole process? It just makes no sense. Either the FS will be stained or not. Just my opinion (as usual!).

Does anyone run a control and, if so, how often and do you store them in the freezer? This was a suggestion we received, but, not certain if we need or want to go this route. Any input would be greatly appreciated and thanks so much!
