[Histonet] negative controls

[McMahon, Loralee A]

I am hoping that the vendors will recognize this when the make these agreements.  
Hopefully not doubling our prices!

You may be able to omit them, but in our case they are still a detection
that is part of our volume agreement.  I'm not sure if everyone else has
a similar agreement, but omitting the negative controls may affect your
ability to meet a volume commitment.

Yes you can, the cap standards just came out Tuesday with the revised
part stating you do not have to run a negative reagent control using
polymer based detection.  Only if you are still using biotin based
detection kits do you need to run the neg. control

just wondering if we can start leaving the negative controls off of our
immuno stains now as long
as our procedure says we can stain without them?   we use ventanas
multimer detection systems.

thanks so much,
