Hello Histonet,
Can someone please help me with a formula to figure out cost/analysis of IHC
antibody per slide, detection system per slide?
I am trying to break down all of our current lab costs (even processing) and I
am new at this any help is greatly appreciated.

We are having debates regarding billing 88173 and 88108 on the same specimen.
Padget seems to reference using 88108 when there is a second specimen, but most
of our scenarios are single specimens.
Anyone want to take a shot at it?

I find that when coupling IHC and special stains the best chromogen to use is
DAB, unless the colors are too similar. We would traditionally run the IHC
first with the DAB chromogen which is not going anywhere and then essentially
counterstain with whatever special stain you are performing. Ba
Hello,
I found the following study, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12000724,
where sections were probed with alpha-synuclein antibodies and then
developed with DAB. Then the sections were stained with Congo Red for
amyloid. The afore mentioned article references

Hello,
Does anyone out there have some good HSV I & II tissues they could share
with us? We have been having problem with our HSV I & HSV II, because the
commercially prepared positive control slides that we bought did not stain as
expected.
You guys are the best. Have a good weekend and
Yes, that is how it would be done. Just a reminder if patient is
Medicare/Medicaid, the hospital must bill for the technical component as well -
UNLESS the patient is from an outreach physician's office. And you cannot go
exclusively by age - there are underage Medicare patients.

I had a quick question about processing bone samples. Since we do not have an
automatic tissue processor, what are the recommended solutions that I can leave
my samples overnight in without ruining them. Last time I processed tissue, I
left the samples overnight in 80%EtOH and then in 100%EtOH.
Good morning Histoland:
Happy Friday! I was asked by a friend to post this on histonet. They have a
question for those of you who may be familiar with billing for the IHC
professional component only.
Here is the scenario; a small lab who does not perform IHC in-house sends a
block to be cut
