RE: [Histonet] saving slides between levels for IHC?
Sandy, I don't think it is a standard procedure. However, our pathologist will frequently ask us to keep intervening levels for possible IHC on certain cases that are small or where the tumor is about to be exhausted. We are a dermatopathology lab. When it is requested, we cut the whole case on a clean waterbath, using distilled water and no additives, on plus slides. The routine HE's are stained normally and the other slides are dried and held for possible immunos.

Re: [Histonet] saving slides between levels for IHC?
We tend to take extras between levels especially on scant or needle biopsy tissue. We do waste several thousand slides per year, but by doing this it allows us to give the pathologist several representative sections and also save tissue for future IHC and special stains.
