When a "machine" is doing the test, there are stringent provisions as to the preparation and validations of the test. Done manually, it requires a trained technologists and, yes, they are high complexity tests (both IHC and FISH, and their variations). René J.

Our pathologist believes that ALL histology low complexity testing since a "machine" is doing the work. Can anyone help me out with some guidelines, literature, etc. that says otherwise? I would really appreciate it. We just want to know which one it is. Thanks so much Histoland! _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
