[Histonet] manual IHC staining

[Histology]

Hi all-

 

Does anyone out there still do manual, offline IHC staining?  We
currently do about 20,000 IHC slides per year and my boss would like to
consider dropping the automatic stainers and doing them by hand. If you
do manual staining, how long does it take, how much tech time is needed,
and what about CAP inspections?  

 

Thanks in advance,
