[Histonet] FW: ASRs

[Mitchell, Jeannette M.]

> Can folks tell me what they are doing with regard to CAP Checklist Dec. 2003
> question  # ANP.12425 regarding ASRs (Analyte Specific Reagents) ?
> We currently do not have any disclaimer in our patient surgical reports because
> all our antibodies are commercially produced (not "home brews").
> In reading this recently revised requirement however it sounds like we need to have this 
> statement in all our reports that have had IHC performed.
> Most of the antibodies we use have package inserts saying for "Research Use Only".
> 
> I'd appreciate any feedback as to whether the CAP recommended disclaimer is necessary
> with commercially bought antibodies (not in kits). 
> thanks
