What Does It Cover?
Come one, come all to the troubleshooting gallery as we learn sure-fire techniques to troubleshoot IHC stains. Inappropriate stains impact patient care, slow your lab down, and waste reagents, all of which cost your lab money, time, and peace of mind. This workshop will cover common histology and immunohistochemistry protocols, paying close attention to how each step influences stain quality. We’ll take aim at the root cause for most stain issues and set our sights on the red flags to look for when troubleshooting. We’ve got you covered from specimen collection to cover slipping. Too Light, Too Dark, Background, No Stain and the rest of the outlaws won’t stand a chance. You’ll mosey out of this workshop with a thorough understanding of how histology and immunohistochemistry work to produce a quality stain and the tools you will need to efficiently troubleshoot the most common stain issues. Giddy up and count yourself among the ranks of ‘Sharp Troubleshooter’ for your lab.
