[Histonet] hand staining immunos

[Jennifer]

Hello,

 

My dermatopathologist wants me to start hand staining immunos  for MITF. I
would really like some feedback about everyone's experiences/thoughts with
manually hand staining immunos and especially with MITF. Pros and cons? I am
concerned about the amount of time this will take for a tech to babysit the
stain and also about the consistency of the quality in the end result.  Your
opinions are much appreciated.

 

Thank you!

 

Jennifer
