[Histonet] automated special stains and control tissue

2016-08-15 Thread Curt via Histonet
Re: automated special stainers, are you all running the patient tissue with a 
control on it, like IHC? we're wrestling with the idea of a control on each 
slide or a batch control... the pathologist wants a batch control, thinks the 
control may contaminate the patient tissue (PASF for example). My argument is 
that this process is different in that each slide is stained independently and 
should be treated as a separate stain, not like the old days running a bunch of 
slides in a Coplin jar... if there's a mechanical error and some reagent is 
dropped on a slide but the error didn't  occur on the control slide then the 
control would still stain properly but the patient tissue would be negative... 
we will never know if there isn't a control. I  think they should be treated 
like IHC...

Anyone else have this issue?
Thoughts?

Curt

Re: [Histonet] cryostat decontamination

2016-08-15 Thread Duddey, Aimee via Histonet
Our last discussion with TJC to clarify their definition of "regular interval" 
was to follow the manufacturers guidelines.  I recommend determining what 
manufacturer suggests with the use of the UV decon and write that in your 
policy that addresses this standard.  If you are following their guidelines, 
you should be in compliance.

Subject: [Histonet] cryostat decontamination

ANP.23410 states that cryostat is defrosted and wiped down at regular 
intervals.  What if you have UV decontam?  Is there a ruling on that?
