AW: [Histonet] Her2 FISH controls

[Gudrun Lang]

We use inhouse tissue and made really tiny pieces to place them near the
specimen slide. So we bring it beneath one coverslip.

Bye

Betreff: [Histonet] Her2 FISH controls

Hello,
I see that the ASCO/CAP Guidelines recommend using amplified, cutoff,
and normal controls for Her2 FISH testing.  We currently use Pathvysion
and purchase normal and cutoff controls from Abbott.  They do not offer
a product of amplified controls.  Are you all running this third
control? Are you using in-house tissue? Have you found a vendor who
sells them?  Thanx
