Martha,
I have had experience in three different labs. The unstained slides can
pile up quickly, especially when you are using charged slides that are
"just in case" slides for sendouts, IHC, etc. For core biopsies (breasts,
fine needles, prostate, etc.) we cut levels and put up at least five of

that won't fall off?

You are going to have to revalidate IHC and FISH with new processing. How much

I am starting up a new Histology lab and have been asked to determine the
quality metrics, so I can hire the staff I need, has anyone else had to prove
this and if so, how did you show that through metrics?

We are looking at ways to improve our work processes, save time and labor and
reduce costs, all while maintaining patient quality...as we all are of course.
During our conversations the subject of cutting unstained slides has come up
and we are looking for bench marking data to see if we are w
We do quite a number of renal biopsies and sometimes the frozen tissue is not
sufficient for the immunofluorescent panel and we have to use paraffin sections
for our fluorescence staining. It has never really worked all that well and

I am also interested! We are currently validating the four MMr

Hi Colleen,
We are just wrestling with this very issue and have decided to use:

Good morning,
I would like to get some input on the type of tissue everyone is using for
their IHC MMR protocol. I would like to use just one block for all four
protocols if possible. Any suggestions.
