Nordic Immunohistochemical Quality Control (NordiQC) is an accredited international proficiency program for immunohistochemistry (IHC). More than 400 pathology laboratories are registered in the breast module and twice a year these laboratories participate in the program. IHC staining for HER2 is a standard in NordiQC’s breast module, where HercepTest™ mAb pharmDx (Dako Omnis) is being used by more and more laboratories.

• Reagents for HER2 IHC staining of 50 tests
• A new monoclonal rabbit antibody, a new assay-specific visualization reagent, and 10 control cell slides with four control cell lines, including a new cell line with 2+ HER2 staining intensity
• EnVision FLEX Peroxidase Blocking Reagent, Target Retrieval Solution, Low pH, DAB+ Chromogen, and Substrate Buffer. These components may also be substituted with similar EnVision FLEX reagents.
