Coming from a large reference laboratory, it was crucial to change out
reagents for special stains every week since our workload was so heavy. Now
at a smaller GI lab, I am wondering if it is absolutely necessary to change
out the reagents so frequently? We have changed about 2-3 weeks depending
on
Can the room block rate be extended?

sensitive of the amyloid stain, at about 97%. However, sometimes the Congo
red will not stain the amyloid protein, such as when the amyloid is a large,
very old deposit. In that case, more and more amyloid is being crammed into
