[Histonet] cryostat decontamination

[anita dudley]

thank you all for posting about the cryostat decontamination,  I have not revised my procedure and we are due for an inspection .  I think this is just over kill, our pathologist says we have to do it if cap says. (they also made me throw away all of the dry drys that they said were outdated?  now I think they have changed that, I thought that was crazy also.) the way we do it here is if the path thinks it should be down they will tell us.  they try to just do smears if it is a know infectious case.

I have another question for those who use ventana's benchmark, or I guess anybody that is doing imunos. are you using a universal negative control?  or positive and negative with most every case?  thanks for your input.

everyone have a good day.
