[Histonet] QC Issues

[Paula Wilder]

Hi everyone,
After speaking with several of my area colleagues, a couple of questionable 
QC isssues came up.  Does anyone run an HE control on their frozen section 
set-up?  Is the use of Cyto-cool banned from frozens and in the cutting of 
permanent blocks?  Does everyone decontaminate the cryostat with bleach at 
least once a month? Does everyone have control block documentation?  And do 
your pathologists do a daily/weekly quality control check sheet?
Thanks so much for your input!
