It is the most effective and economical way to run your IHC's. We have been doing it that way for as long as I have been in histology. Thanks, Tim - Original Message - From: histonet-requ...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 6:04

Hi Toni, We put the control on the same slide and after it's stained and coverslipped we draw a line to seperate the control and patient tissue with each side of the line having either a C or P written on it. Mark On Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 12:27 PM, Rathborne, Toni

Whenever possible we put patient tissue on slides with positive control tissue on it. Everyone likes it and then you're assured your control and patient got the same staining experience. We used to use the red box control slides but discontinued due to the additional cost. Linda A. Sebree

We do not put our positive control tissue on the test slide; we run batch controls. Many of the unstained slides (breast, GI, and prostate biopsies) that we use for IHC testing are cut in our Histology Laboratory as part of a part-type slide protocol. For example, we cut 7 slides, 2 sections
