Is there anyone in Histonet land who is using both the Optiview and Ultraview on the XT and ULTRA at the same time? I'd like to ask a few questions, please email me.
We have a cytology cellblock case that came out stunningly positive for Her2 and one of our pathologist thought it would make a dynamic control if there were any specimen left to make the control block. While I am excited about the possiblity (Her2 control is hard to come by around here) some concern is expressed about using it because it is initally fixed in cytolyt before FFPE. I can argue both sides of this. I would enjoy your input on this folks.

If so, they will have 2 other kits coming out for it. They will require the use of Optiview detection or it will be considered an LDT. Just found this out from my rep. Thanks, Stacy Stacy McLaughlin, HT (ASCP) Histology Supervisor Cooley Dickinson Healthcare 30 Locust Street Northampton, MA 01060 (413-582-2019 ****Stacy, thanks for sharing!
