I would totally agree Angela. Without knowing all the details, I'd bet these people are plenty busy all day everyday. I'd worry about burning them out. And what happens when one or the other is sick or needs a vacation?

I'm curious as to how labs are staffed for doing IF/IHC/CISH. A small portion of our staining protocols still require pretreatment by hand, but we run instruments that do the pretreatments on board for the majority of our stains. We have 2 IHC techs, 1 on 1st shift and 1 on 3rd shift.Together they are cutting and staining between 200-350 slides per day. I think this is a high volume for only two people. What do you all think?
