Hi Cheryl, We use the Aperio system for HER2 scoring. Our lab manager put a cytotech in charge of validating the digital reading and her next project is ER and PR. For HER2 IHC, the software is initially set for Dako's Hercept test. We don't use Dako, we use Ventana staining platform and the 4B5 clone for HER2 IHC. She had to play with the software until it was scoring cases appropriately, but it works great now.
The initial slide scanner we got from them was a lemon. They sent another and it was a lemon too. The third instrument (which is a newer model) usually works without any problems. The system helps with FISH too. The pathologist can mark the area of interest for FISH on the digital slide image. This is great for my lab because we have pathologists that are not here at our main lab site. This allows me to mark the area and start FISH even though the IHC or H&E might be off-site. Mark T.
