[Histonet] Controls with patient specimen on same slide

[Sebree Linda A]

Whenever possible we put patient tissue on slides with positive control
tissue on it.  Everyone likes it and then you're assured your control
and patient got the same staining experience.  We used to use the "red
box" control slides but discontinued due to the additional cost.

Hi,
I'm interested in knowing how many of you are performing ihc with the
control tissue and the patient tissue on the same slide. I have seen
slides available which have designated areas for each tissue to be
placed so there will not be any confusion. If you're doing it, have you
encountered any problems? What benefits have you noticed since
implementing this process? Are your pathologists in favor of this?  If
you're not, why not?
Thanks,
Toni
