you strip the floors at defined periods of time? Do you use mats throughout

Does your institution have a policy regarding minimum size requirement for
biopsy collection (lung bx, core bx, cardiac, etc)? I will collate all
responses.
Thank you

Corrected Results (Addendums/Amendment) volume
Turnaround Time Monitoring
Frozen Section TAT (critical call)
Rejected Tests (empty bottles, etc)

My institution is an academic medical center; we have PA's, residents, specimen
receiving technicians and histology technicians performing frozen sections. We
perform a yearly competency of frozen sectioning for non MDs.

CAP suggests running 10 negative and 10 positive cases for non-prognostic
markers.
CAP required running 20 negative and 20 positive cases for prognostic markers.
In the event the case volume is less than the suggested 10 and 10 cases for

James,
We base all of our high complexity testing on the semester hours as listed in

science, they should meet the educational requirements as stated previously. I

I am looking for information on where to purchase IgG-1, IgG-2, IgG-3 and IgG-4
antibodies to be used on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue. I would
prefer that this be an IHC antibody instead of FITC. Does anyone have
experience with IgG subtyping? If so, what do you do?
Thanks
Lacy No
I do not believe it will stain with PAS. The bacteria lack a cell wall.
