HISTOCHEMISTRY

• Patients are respected as individuals…no batching of specimens because it’s cheap and efficient.
• Process is automated for reproducibility.
• Selection of histochemical stains is based on quality, not cost.
• Controls are carefully selected to optimize staining.
• Quality of staining is tightly monitored to eliminate risk of false negative or positive results.
• Positive controls are run with each stain in order to monitor for false results and artifacts.
