[Histonet] question about Her2 neu

[Green, Kathy]

First, is there a time frame involved for fixation for formalin issue
when running Her2neu?  If it is FDA approved is it necessary to monitor
it (time frames).  We are having a problem on our trials that the ours
are running higher (ours would be a 1+ vs. 0) than the company we
previously sent them to.  Could it be due to the fact that they don't
have an FDA approved HER 2 neu and maybe not from the same company (we
use Ventana antibodies/equipment) that we use?  Thanks for any help or
pointers in this area.

 

Please respond to my personal email any responses.
