You will also need to validate all of the IHC stains and special stains that you do on these tissues. You can take samples from each tissue type and run them in parallel on both machines. Then test all of your special stains and antibodies that you have in your inventory.

Prepare H&E sections and give them to the pathologists concealing the used tissue processor. The pathologists should decide if there are differences between the pairs of sections. The pathologist's opinion should be registered in the QC file and that will be your validation. René J.
