We expect our pathologists to share positive tissue controls for cases
that are all run in the same batch.  The only exception would be if the
slides were going to be read at a remote location making sharing
problematic.

Good Day Histonetters!  For immuno cases, how are you handling the
control
tissue question?  Are you putting a piece of control tissue on each
slide or are
you using a control slide for each ab performed on a given day.  We are
using
Ventana'e Benchmark for the lion's share of our immunos.

Thanks!
