NordiQC is an independent scientific organization, promoting the quality of immunohistochemistry by arranging schemes for pathology laboratories, assessing tissue stains, giving recommendations for improvement and providing good protocols.

Last update: 16-05-2012

The results of Run 34 were uploaded by 1st April. See Newsletter. Individual results were also e-mailed.

Run 35 (General module), Run B13 (Breast cancer module) and Run H1 (HER-2 ISH module) in scheme 2012 are open for protocol submission, deadline is 11th April.

Slides were circulated about 18th April, deadline for return of slides and submission of scores for HER2 is 7th May. (Scoring of ER and Ki67 is not requested). Next runs open by 1st September.

Please note that due to limited staffing it is NOT possible to attend a run and submit protocols or obtain slides after the deadlines indicated in Modules.
For the current runs slides were sent by 18th April but postal delays are not unusual. In case your slides do not show up in 2-3 weeks, new slides may be requested (and late return be accepted).


Figure: PAX8 staining of Fallopian tube, which is useful for control (A-B), and renal cell carcinoma (C-D). An optimal protocol stains all the epithelial cells in the control tissue (A) and tumour (C), while the insufficient protocol gives a weak staining of the control (B) and false negative staining of the tumour (D).
