[Histonet] Changing Alcohol Vendors

[Pairan, Kelly]

Good Morning,
Our hospital is looking at switching our 100% alcohol and 95% alcohol to another vendor.  I have received mixed answers on whether or not we are going to need to a validation for this reagent swap when it comes to processing, staining and IHC.  What is the practice at your institution?

Thanks,
Kelly
