Study Notes
- The purpose of this procedure is to compare new antibody/probe detection system reagent lot numbers to previous lot numbers concurrently or before being placed into service.
- For Immunohistochemistry (IHC) parallel staining using one known positive and one known negative will be performed on the same instrument with the two detection kits using the different multi-tissue control tissue.
- This comparison should be made on slides cut from the same control block. Parallel staining is required to control for variables such as disparity in the lots of detection reagents or instrument function.
- The IHC staining has to be performed with the old lot on the first run and the new lot on the same run (utilizing the landing zone feature on the Ventana software for the new lot) due to the fact the instrument will select the older reagent if both lots were placed at the beginning of the run.
- Quality control measures include a multi-tissue control (for detection verification, and U6 probe).
- One positive control will be used.
- The Immunohistochemistry (IHC) section of the laboratory must confirm the acceptability of a new reagent lot before patient testing.
- The Immunohistochemistry (IHC) section of the laboratory must test one antibody or detection kit at a time to avoid confusion.
- If the aforementioned happens and a positive and a negative result are obtained, the laboratory will run a viability test to confirm the reagent and compare it to previous reagent lots and applicable datasheets.
