[Histonet] batching controls

[Galbraith, Joe]

We run an appropriate positive control on every patient test slide to test that the antibody and all components used on that slide worked.  This may be overkill but it helps us ensure that each slide worked properly not just the run.

How does this work if you need to send the case out for a  consult and the control is on another patient's slide?

We batch our controls.  We still try to put the control tissue on a
patient slide, and then we reference that case that has the control on
the other cases that don't have a control.

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to know how many labs batch their controls when the same
antibody is ordered on multiple cases. Do you run the control on a
separate slide, or with one of the cases ordered?

Thank you!
