[Histonet] control block log

[Richard Cartun]

I use FileMaker Pro software to keep track of our IHC controls.  I created a control tissue file that includes the following:  Control #, Case #, Tissue site, Diagnosis, DOS, Time in formalin, Processing date, Number of blocks submitted, and then a "Comment" field for the immunoreactivity for each antibody tested.  Every file can then be searched by anyone of the data fields.  For example, if we need a control for Parvovirus we would type in "Parvovirus" in the "Diagnosis" or "Comment" fields and then every control tissue tested positive (or negative) for Parvovirus would be identified.

Hi.  I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share a copy of their control block log.  I'm creating a new one and want to see what others are doing, for reference.  I'm just looking for a blank one.
Thanks,
