[Histonet] antibody instensity

[Kuhnla, Melissa]

Hi All,
My management team just asked me how feasible a 24 hours IHC lab would
be.  Are any of you currently running 24 hours? What is the average turn
around time for your IHC?  We are currently using Ventana platforms and
mainly Ventana and Cell Marque antibodies. I do have concern with
keeping most of the antibodies at room temp all day, every day. Has
anyone experienced a drift in intensity with any antibodies? Any input
for or against would be appreciated. Thank you. :-)
