UMC Utrecht has established an advanced digital pathology set up in their pathology lab. In this webinar, Professor van Diest will present the results of an extensive IHC stain and stainer evaluation performed using Qualitopix. The quantification of stain consistency enabled the lab to significantly improve their stain quality for HER2 and unveil staining variations based on their stainer.
