   ask...w   English  is  my mother tongue but this word is new to me- simultaneous
   and   co   abomination!

   That's  what  I thought at first too. It might be helpful to post this
   lette   that  I  got  from the CAP about this. I tried to argue with them, but
   this i   the answer I got.
   Dear Mark,
   Your questions were forwarded to me for response.
   During  the  Audio-conference,  the  idea  of  comparing  a previously
   stained
   slide  (that  had  used  the “old” lot) to one stained
   with the   deemed  acceptable,  but  not  optimal.  Doing a simultaneous staining
   using old   and  new  lots, better demonstrates the performance characteristics of
   the
   reagent.  The  reason parallel staining is considered best practice is
   that<   detection  reagent  or<   consideration when the slides are<   The  antibody  "getting  weak  over  time"  should  not  happen  to  a
   significant
   degree  if the antibody is used within its expiration date. If the lab
   is  having  this  kind  of  trouble,  it  should look carefully at its
   storage
   conditions.
   Demonstrating  acceptable  performance  of  the  new lot, before being
   place int   service, is *required* for all accredited laboratories.
   To  answer the last question, the key is to order the new reagent well
   befor   you run out of the old lot so that the parallel stain can be performed
   before  the  old lot is consumed. One multi-tissue slide control slide
   would<   which helps to
   minimize the impact on the lab.
   I   hope  that  this  information  is  helpful.  Thank  you  for  your
   participation<   Sincerely,
