There is no problem with CAP inspections if you do them manually. The tech time is the same for HIER, but it increases for the actual procedure. Please go to http://www.histosearch.com/rene.html and you will find times for manual IHC Generally speaking it will be around 10 mins. per slide per procedure. René J.

We currently do about 20,000 IHC slides per year and my boss would like to consider dropping the automatic stainers and doing them by hand. If you do manual staining, how long does it take, how much tech time is needed, and what about CAP inspections?
