Hello all,
I work in a small, low volume community hospital and was recently asked by a coworker why we do not just run both our cytology and histology slides on the same automated stainer (with their respective protocols).
What I am wanting to know is if there is anyone currently running both staining protocols on a single automated stainer using common alcohols/xylenes/water? What are the pros/cons? Has there been any cross-contamination issues?
We only run non-gyn cytology, all gyn cytology is sent out.
Thanks,
