Subject: What % of IHC Stains Should You Expect to Repeat?


Good Afternoon,
I am having an issue with my Pathologist who thinks when the patient tissue on an IHC stain doesn't "look like what he thought it should look like", he then wants to stop doing Immunos and send everything out!!!!  This may happen about twice a month, but the control always stains beautifully.  We recently had the stainer serviced and the drop zone was adjusted to alleviate any problems with distribution of the solutions.  On a recent test slide of a new control block of colon cancer, he also didn't like that CD X2 did not stain some of the tissue components, but the rest of the tissue on the test slide stained beautifully.  Please advise me on what to say to this Pathologist.
Thanks,
Wanda
