[Histonet] RE: Histonet Digest, Vol 128, Issue 30

[Michael Ann Jones]

Rebecca, 
We use slide tray boxes with large index cards. We have first control
slide - to prove block works. Then pre-cut control slides then one stained
last control slide - to make sure entity is still there. And the block
that is in use is stored in box with the slides. Index card notes control
block, who cut controls, how many, date etc. We keep our slide boxes
alphabetized and stored on shelving for easy use. Slide box is pulled
anytime the controls get to 5 slides or less -
Anytime a block is tested we keep a record (in our procedure manual) as to
whether it is appropriate for that stain or not - it is numbered.
We take block log sheet into pathologist to review controls - log sheet is
a table with date, tissue type, block #, stain employed, acceptable for
use, pathologist or technician initials.

Does that help?
