4. Minimizing repeat tests and test failures:
Poor fixation and tissue processing are the most common causes of poor-quality immunostain results. While reference laboratories have no control over the quality of tissues received from outside institutions for testing, community hospital laboratories can dramatically reduce their test failure rates by using simple, proven measures to optimize the quality of tissue fixation and processing in their histology labs. AP’s experts will work directly with your histotechnologists to optimize the quality of the tissues prepared in your laboratory, and to identify and eliminate any other causes of test failure.
