Hi! Current lab is cutting extra slides for IHC and putting in 60 degree oven for 45 mins to dry. If IHC is ordered a precut control and the already baked slides are again put in the 60 degree oven for 45 mins. Sometimes the control is cut and added to the dry slide or a separate slide. So,

Hi Depends on what you mean by cryosections. Unfixed/fixed? Stored at RT, 4C, -20C, -80C. Stored dry or in glycerol So many variables! My opinion is to store blocks and cut sections as required. Least variables. Sure, one loses some tissue everytime one cuts anewa good thing. It IS

Hi Everyone! I have seen unstained slides save a patient from re-biopsy many times. Usually it will be a case where a patient has a known diagnosis, like lung cancer. In these types of cases after diagnosis molecular testing (and IHC for PD-L1) is usually ordered. There have been countless

I agree with Jamie Only a few Ags are "oxidised" ( that's the term used, I recall) but, don't let it be YOUR protein of interest. If you really are concerned, cut fresh sections and immunostain along with your stored sections. Imho: cut as few sections as you need. Store any unused at 4C
