Over the past several years we have had some questions by our hematopathologists regarding the quality of the trephine blocks. The biggest concern has been that the sections seem to have a fragmented appearance which we have determined in the past to be areas where the lipid cell borders brea

Does anyone have a sample IHC Validation worksheet that they used in their lab for review. I know that the requirements have changed since our last inspection. I want to make sure that I am including all of the criteria, and would like to see how other labs are documenting this process. Leslie G

Just started using it ( currently doing validation & correlation), so maybe will be issues at some later time. I just noticed the "overnight" in the IFU file from their website when I was putting the SOP together. I have to be honest, that I did my standard preparation so far and it worked great

Thanks Joelle. I'm surprised that Oracle is suggesting overnight baking as I noticed a huge difference when I dried some test tissue controls for 30" @ 60 degrees vs 10" @ 60 degrees. I was testing some blocks that I had 3 cores of varying degrees of intensity. All showed much decreased reac
