We also Decided to maintain the negative control on our HercepTest assays for this very reason.

We wrote CAP about this and this was their reply: CAP would still require the laboratory to abide by any manufacturer instructions that may be more stringent than the CAP requirement. Since this kit is FDA approved, and the negative control reagent is included in the kit, our facility has decided to continue to do the negative reagent control. Hope this helps, Cindy Cynthia Bulmer HT(ASCP)QIHC IHC Supervisor, CTPL Waco, TX _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
