Steve, Our threshold is 12 tests/year for bringing on a new antibody in-house. On the flip side, if ordering volumes fall below 12/year, we consider dropping the antibody.

My pathologists are interested in some new tests but I am not sure how frequently they are going to be ordering them. I'd rather do them in house if I can, but I don't want to be throwing my money away if they never order them... Does anyone know of a good system for keeping track of this? -Steve _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
