The HistoQIP IHC Series improves the preparation of immunohistochemistry slides in
all anatomic laboratories that handle a broad range of surgical
specimens. In this educational program, an expert panel of pathologists, histotechnologists, and histotechnicians evaluates submitted slides for histologic technique using uniform grading criteria. Participants receive laboratory-specific evaluations and participant summaries with performance benchmarking, commentary from evaluators, and peer comparison data.
Program Information
Participants may submit up to five IHC stained and coverslipped glass slides (one from each category) per mailing.
