[Histonet] (no subject)

[Amy Self]

Good Morning All,

We do the non-gyn cytology cases in the histology lab and usually I will stain the body fluids separate. Now that our workload has increased staining these specimens separately takes up a lot of time. I was wandering what other labs were doing to prevent cross-contamination highly cellular specimens during processing and staining.

 I am referring to the CAP question below:

 CYP.07680
?       Are there procedures to prevent cross-contamination of specimens during processing and staining?


Thanks in advance for your help,
Amy
