[Histonet] Expired Stains

[Heckford, Karen - SMMC-SF]

Hi Everyone,  I was wondering if anyone knows how JCAHO views expired
Special Stains.  I have some expired Special Stains.  We do low volume,
trying to use up some stains before they expire can be difficult.  I can
still get the stains to work and the Pathologists like them.  Should I throw
them away and order new?  As you know the stains can be costly.  
Thanks for your input,
