[Histonet] manual IHC staining

[Rene J Buesa]

There is no problem with CAP inspections if you do them manually.
The tech time is the same for HIER, but it increases for the actual procedure. Please go to
http://www.histosearch.com/rene.html and you will find times for manual IHC
Generally speaking it will be around 10 mins. per slide per procedure.

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,
