The BX program is limited to H&E (Hematoxylin and Eosin) stain only and does not offer special or IHC stains. The Specialty Series includes modules for specialty histology laboratories (gastrointestinal, dermatologic and urologic tract). & Laboratories are expected to enroll in all applicable immunohistochemistry and predictive marker surveys based on their scope of service. && Each year the PM5 program will offer different IHC markers to evaluate assay performance on a variety of tissues and / or tumor types (see CAP Survey Catalogue for detailed listing) # All facilities utilizing automated instruments for TM testing must subscribe to the CAP JAT program. These laboratories are also required to subscribe to the J program surveys to monitor the manual method used in the laboratory for crossmatch and/or manual back-up testing. All of the above programs will be offered in SI units where appropriate. Participants will receive directions from CAP regarding SI unit data entry. Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) Under the Auspices of the Laboratory: Specific EQA programs are not mandated for POCT other than the ##Blood Gas programs specified above. The CPSA Standards; however, require that appropriate external quality assessment (EQA) activities are performed for ALL POCT (G.11.11.4). This includes participation in a formal EQA program where available or in the absence of a formal EQA program, in an internal quality assessment scheme involving the distribution of samples or replication of the examination within the laboratory. `
