We run negative controls on every block of a case within the same run. On autopsy cases, we only run 1 negative per tissue type, within the same run...this is the only exception to the rule of 1 negative per block.

Are you running your negatives with your patient/test cases or on a separate run? Also, if you are doing this and have to use a different detection kit how do you work the QA/QC portion of this for CAP requirements.
