IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL VALIDATION DEVICES AND METHODS

摘要

A method for validating an immunohistochemical slide. The slide is pre-treated and stained in accordance with an immunohistochemical protocol and includes a validation portion with at least one control group. The at least one control group is configured to validate at least one parameter directed to at least one of the pre-treatment or of the staining of the slide. The method includes capturing an image of the slide and measuring a value of the at least one parameter for the control group from the image. The measured value of the at least one parameter is compared to an acceptable value. Based on this comparison, an indication of the validity of the IHC slide is generated.
