Special Instructions

Limitations
The test is limited to the technical performance of the immunostain and does not include pathologist interpretation. Age of paraffin sections can affect immunoreactivity, and stability varies among different antigens. Best practices for slide storage should be followed to avoid alteration in slide staining. Unsuitable slides can result in inconsistent staining due to poor surface chemistry.
