[Histonet] PAS Diastase

[Rene J Buesa]

No, you are correct. The tech should always give the pathologists one with and another without diastase.

Hi All,
At a local lab when a pathologist orders a PAS diastase the 
histotechnicians do just one slide with diastase.  They do not do an 
undigested slide.  How would the pathologist know if the digested slide 
had a glycogen to begin with?  Am I over thinking this?
Thanks,
Jennifer
