[Histonet] IHC

[Morken, Timothy]

Emily, ? Are you ensuring excess water is not under the section that would prevent adherence to the slide? Are you using slides recommended by the outside lab? Do they recommend a procedure for drying the slides before sending?    Just a starting point...

Hi everyone,

We send our IHCs to an outside lab. I send them the unstained slides. I cut them at 4 microns and put them on charged slides. We are having a lot of issues with the receiving lab saying the tissue is falling off. Their supervisor says the sections are too thick (remember 4 microns) and my pathologist says they are not too thick. Any suggestions for resolving this issue with the receiving lab?

Thanks!
