I am posting one question from a pathologist, the other from the Histology 
supervisor:

1. Since all the IHC is sent out from this lab and turnaround is an issue. 
This Dr. would like to know if a melanin stain (Schmorl's?)would be just as 
good as doing a S-100 or Hmb45 offsite.

2. A number of cytology (non-gyn) are showing increased contaminants. 
eg.-dust,debris. The supervisor feels that the Dr.'s complaint is overblown. 
Can the slides be completely free of contaminants all the time? Can't 
collection be an attributing factor?
