You are going to have to revalidate IHC and FISH with new processing. How much might depend on if you are significantly changing instrumentation/technology, or just getting a new instrument of the same type. I usually don't do a full, as new assay validation, but the amount needed just to show that the processing change has not affected the test results. If there are issues that appear with that, you might have to do a complete revalidation.

Nothing too extreme, however we gross some extra patient tissue and do a small run, then increase the amount of blocks processed until we are ready to run cases for patient diagnosis. It really only takes a week or two. After those blocks are cut, then we compare them to the previous processor results and make changes if neccessary.
