Hello fellow histotechnologists!  I was wondering if any of you might have some 
advice or information on the following two subjects:


  *   Glass slide QC (plus (+) slides used for IHC) - do any of you have a QC 
process for these that may differ from just running IHC on a small sample group 
from a shipment of slides, such as performing any kind of electron microscopy 
or other analyses to determine if the coating on the slides is consistent and 
adequate?



  *   Control Tissue Procurement-I know many of you may be in your own surgical 
pathology labs where you have access to extra surgical tissue that you 
processed in house to use for constructing IHC controls.  For those of you that 
do not-do you purchase any control tissue elsewhere?  Do any of your labs work 
with other labs in a type of supplier/client capacity to procure viable tissue 
controls that include well known and documented pre-analytics?


Any info you may have is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
