All of my labs are tested at least yearly or when we change a major procedure
dealing with formalin or xylene. In addition if an associate feels the fumes
are high we test that day. When I CAP inspect I like to see the lab tests
annually, however, it's not the requirement but would recommend as
I am setting up the Ventana system and performing validation, it's taking a
little longer to set up then expected but the support has been excellent.
Hopefully will have it running and validated in the next few months. Validation
is the time consumer I found with setting up a system.

Amen... the time investment for validation!
Celebrate when it is completed :)

I found each State that I have been in has a little different method to
hazardous waste handling/reporting in the laboratory. I have found that
recycling alcohol, xylene and formalin greatly reduces cost; my labs
demonstrate 60-70% cost reduction in all areas of concern, (usage, disposal and

Hi, good afternoon everyone,
I was wondering if anybody could help me out. We would like to detect human
cells engrafted in rat tissue, particularly in formalin-fixed,
paraffin-embedded tissue. I have so far tried one anti-human nuclear antigen
antibody that works well in criostat...but witho

There is another Human Nuclear antibody from cell signaling we find that it
works in FFPE tissues, however in our hands it did not stain all nuclei
probably around 90- 95% overall. We found it to be potentially fixation
dependent, we noticed that tissues that had spent longer time in fix
Hi,
Please I have a question on the new IHC Billing Policies for CPT,
Medicare. My question is how do we go about the billing of the HER-2 DUAL ISH
and the Kappa and Lambda ISH?
Thanks,

ISH is a different bill-code--88365. The changes were made to 88342.

We have used that too and it will work well in most instances, but there are
some issues with that method, detection is entirely dependent upon the number
of mitochondria in the cells and some cells contain more than others, as long
you understand that you are fine. We feel we get a better stai
Hi there!
I have spent a lot of time reading the archives, but still need some specific
and current input/advice.
I'm interested in overnight processing for GI biopsies on a Tissue-Tek VIP with
a xylene substitute. I need insight on protocols, brands, effects on
staining. The good, the bad
Hi Gayle, i saw your response to Merissa, quite good. i have also been having
problems with lectin IHC and will appreciate it if you can also forward me your
Lectin IHC protocol, and your recipe for the Lectin buffer.
Thank you
