Abstract

The external controls discussed in Chap. 10 are derived from normal and/or pathologic archival tissues or more ideally from excess tissues specifically selected and processed for the purpose, with a pre-analytic process matching the test tissues as closely as possible. Reference to Table 9.4 shows that such tissues have limitations, with reference to cost, need for periodic replacement of exhausted blocks and availability (confined to the lab that produces them).
