Limitations
Specimens must be fixed in 10% NBF or B plus. All other fixatives will be rejected. Fresh Tissues should not exceed 72 hours of stability. Formalin-fixed Paraffin Embedded Tissue (FFPE) blocks and unstained slides have indefinite stability, but testing should occur within proper storage conditions to ensure accuracy.
