[Histonet] Re: HER2 fixation time

[Dr. Hadi Yaziji]

Rene,

Once you read the published article in the January issue of the  
Archives of Pathology and Lab Medicine (available on the CAP website  
to download for free), you will have a better idea about the extend of  
work the committee has gone through to set the parameters.

Their work is *outstanding*, but it's not perfect, but the outcome is  
safe and badly needed. Your criticism is well taken, but it's not  
necessary.
