About Us
Introducing PRS – the Process Record Slides – the new, innovative quality control measure for immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining that ensures accuracy and reproducibility of results while meeting the requirements of ISO 15189.
Traditional tissue controls can be limited by issues such as lack of standardization, batch-to-batch variability, and potential misuse by pathologists. PRS provides a reliable alternative by consisting of primary and secondary protein targets with known antigen expression levels that are certified as an ISO 13485 medical device.
Unlike traditional tissue controls, PRS can be standardized, providing a reference material with known properties appropriate for the examination. This ensures that each IHC staining run is checked for accuracy and reproducibility, rather than relying on the accuracy of previous batches.
It Is Time to Modernize the revolutionary Process Record Slide

ISO 15189 – 2012
Confirmation through the provision of objective evidence , that the requirements for a specific intended use or application have been fulfilled
Confirmation , through provision of objective evidence , that specified requirements have been fulfilled
The laboratory shall establish quality indicators to monitor and evaluate performance throughout critical aspects of pre – examination , examination and post examination processes
The laboratory shell define the biological reference intervals or clinical decision valuer , document the basis for the reference intervals or decision values and communicate this information to users.
When a particular biological reference interval or decision value is no longer relevant for the population served , appropriate changes shall be made and communicated to the users .
When the laboratory changer an examination procedure or pre examination procedure , the laboratory shall review associated reference intervals and clinical decision values , as applicable .

PRS: 100% Process QC of IHC pathology slides is now a reality




- The First IHC Process Quality Control slide manufactured according to ISO13485
- The first IHC PQC slide to separate primary antibody , secondary stain , and antigen retrieval behaviors
- The first IHC PQC slide with the ability to evaluate the functional primary antibody concentration vs. the applied concentration >> allows for measured degradation tracking of the primary antibody instead of the arbitrary usage time now used.
- The first IHC PQC slide , when digitally imaged , can develop a quantitative link between antigen density and color density of the tissue
- The first IHC PQC that can establish an antigen density baseline to go along with the physical morphology of the tissue section for use in Al training and eventual usage in diagnostic aid
- The only solution by which tele – diagnostic images can be color matched automatically while also regenerating the antigen & color density scales at the receiving end.
- The first IHC PQC slide , when always used in stainers . can result in consistent staining performance via Levey – Jennings tracking feedback

Manufacturers of automated strainers have never provided a standard calibrator for their instruments to verify that the product performs correctly. Thus, how can a pathologist provide a valid diagnostic opinion when his patient material contains processing variability?
