>>Since we use HER2/neu in our lab as an ASR, I have done a little more 
research on the formalin fixation and you are correct. The Herceptest and 
Pathway package inserts/protocols are very detailed about the amount of time 
that a sample must be formalin fixed.<<

What is the amount of time the specimen must be left in formalin? Does the 
amount of time demand overnight fixation? Good thing if it did.

What's an ASR?
