It is my understanding that you still need a negative tissue control but if using a polymer detection kit that you may stop doing a negative reagent control. The negative tissue control is a tissue known to not contain the antigen in the tissue, it can be an internal control, or a separate control but if internal control, then it must be designated as to how it will be used in your procedure manual. Hope that helps.

Subject: [Histonet] CAP and negative IHC controls How is everyone interpreting the CAP rule about using negative controls? Do we still need a negative with each patient slide? _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
