[Histonet] saving slides between levels for IHC?

[Sheila Fonner]

Sandy,

I don't think it is a "standard" procedure.  However, our pathologist will
frequently ask us to keep intervening levels for possible IHC on certain
cases that are small or where the tumor is about to be exhausted.  We are a
dermatopathology lab.  When it is requested, we cut the whole case on a
clean waterbath, using distilled water and no additives, on plus slides.
The routine H&E's are stained normally and the other slides are dried and
held for possible immunos.

Does anyone know if it is standard  to save sections from between the
levels for IP?  Is it standard at your institution?
