Immunohistochemistry Validation: Past, Present and Future
Validation procedures are part of the regulatory process in a laboratory setting. Understanding the basic principles and reasons for validation is important for laboratory compliance of regulations and eventually for patient diagnosis and treatments of diseases. A discussion of current trends and changes with the latest CAP checklist will be reviewed and future direction of where IHC validation may end up will be discussed.
Learning Objectives
