RE: [Histonet] Gastric biopsies
Jennifer, I read my response and realize I made the mistake of stating on all esophageal biopsies. We only do candida when the Endoscopy physicians list it on the paperwork. I ran out of our control for fungus so I am purchasing controls from American Master Tech. (they use superfrost plus slides which is what Ventana approves for our NexES stainer) The American Master Tech fungus controls stain well with Pas light green and GMS.

RE: [Histonet] Gastric biopsies
For H. pylori we do a Genta, which is a modified Steiner, with Alcian blue and H & E over it. I've finally gotten the docs to wait to make sure they need specials on everything else, so as not to waste.

Re: [Histonet] Gastric biopsies
We do Diff Quik on all gastric biopsies, and we do Alcian Blue on all esophageal biopsies with Barrett's indicated by the GI Dr. Our other special stains are by request, but we almost always end up doing retic and trichrome on liver bx submitted with hepatitis as Clinical Dx. Hope this helps.
