[Histonet] Her2 Fixation Requirement

[Liz Chlipala]

I would think both if you could since the Her2 paper does address those
issues as potentials for problems in testing variation (time to
fixation).  I believe the CAP/ASCO paper states not less then 6 and no
more than 48 hours for fixation (2007 paper).  I believe you also should
document type of fixative if possible; vendor, lot number and expiration
date if you can.  I have pdfs of these documents if you need them.

  What is the appropriate time it should be in formalin?  Do you start
your time when it is initially put into formalin, or the start from the
time it was dissected?
