Hello,
I am looking for Thymidylate Phosphotase for use on
formalin fixed paraffin embedded human tissue.
Is anyone using this on paraffin?  What vendor do you use?
Thank you,

Joyce,
no and yes. We go through so many controls that we often exhaust the
block, 
especially on the scarce controls like AFB,  AFP, ADV.
We have the Ventana stainers also and verify the different lot numbers
also.
