[Histonet] Isopropyl (again)

[Richard Cartun]

We do not use the HercepTest kit for HER-2 IHC detection and I am not
aware of any problems regarding patient treatment or
pathologist/oncologist/patient reimbursement.

Also, remember, if Her2 is requested later on, Dako's Her2 Kit
recommends 
minimum 24 hour fixation in NBF for results to be valid and reliable. I

understand in US, in order for the patient to be treated and reembursed
by 
insurance companies, Dako Kit must be used. Patient comes first, not
the 
TAT.
My two cents worth...
