[Histonet] IHC VALIDATION

[Cartun, Richard]

I keep an Excel spreadsheet on all my antibodies (and probes).  I list the case number, the tissue tested, the result, "is this the expected result?", diagnosis and/or comments, and the detection system used.  I am a firm believer of maintaining a "prospective" validation meaning I add positive and negative cases to the spreadsheet even after the primary validation is completed.  This allows you to monitor for analytical drift, and also proves useful in identifying cases for educational purposes and for identifying control material.  I will send you (and anyone else who is interested) a copy of the blank template.
