Busting the Myth of the "Ideal" Workflow
What is the ideal IHC workflow? Should you run your slides in batches or process them in a continuous flow? Because your lab is unique, and each day is full of surprises, there may not be one ideal IHC workflow. This lecture will focus on how to identify gaps in your IHC workflow using data the lab currently collects and understanding how it correlates to items flowing though the laboratory. The key instead is to have an adaptable workflow that matches your lab’s daily needs. In this presentation, we will look at the importance of understanding what you are doing now, what tools you might use to analyze your process, and how to best decide on the right solutions for you.
Learning Objectives
- Identify critical points to your existing workflow using data you currently collect.
- Select tools to help you measure and improve the critical points identified.
- Understand the factors that help determine your optimal IHC workflow.
