17 IHC quality problem IHC is technically complex, and no aspect of this complexity can be ignored, from the moment of collecting the specimen to issuance of the final report (Clive Taylor, 2000) 17

18 IHC quality problem Staining patterns and quality varies between different laboratories - depending on the expertise and individual selection of reagents and methods Different antibodies, visualization systems, chromogenes, platforms and guide lines often give different results Internal quality control will often not identify a poorly calibrated IHC system or varying quality of products giving insufficient or aberrant staining results EQA objectively compares a large number of stains, reagents and protocols to identify optimal and suboptimal products. 18
