Here's the opinion of an 85 year old pathologist who in the course of his
training spent a year doing histochemical research. In my experience,
pathologists aren't allowed much input in the selection of controls.
Anyone doing special stains needs to be able to evaluate the control slides
for
Hey Cynthia-
I’m curious what you used for an in-house control?
I bet you have some in-house tissue that will work as well as the purchased
controls.
Try out a big piece or lung or colon adenocarcinoma from a resection, if you
can.

We actually just stared keeping a log for special stains, always for IHC. Our
rule of thumb is that an IHC control slide cannot be oler than 6 months,
although we go through most of them much faster. For the basic IHC, tonsil,
fallopian tube etc we do not log the case information for IHC

Only when I couldn't use what we had in the lab. Also some people might trade
you if you have something they can use? Another thing I've noticed is
occasionally vendors would request a control block for another

I never bought a single (+) control slide. I prepared mine from the (+) cases
we had. I think you should try this avenue as well.

How could you
Check with a colleague working in a hospital and ask for fresh tissue (for IHC)
or (+) pathological cases.

Amanda,
You will lose antigenicity on the spirochete control slides after that long
of a period. We usually cut no more than 10 in advance, and we keep them in
the refrigerator. Hope this helps.

I've noticed that our spirochete control slides don't stain as intense

staining by about 6 months. (This is with a silver stain.)
I've talked with other histotechs, and they say they've seen the same
phenomenon with AFB and
