It is fixation is important in tissue processing because it preserves the anatomy of different tissues. It makes tissue hard so that a thin section can be made from it. Tissue fixation means the process by which components of the cell and tissues are fixed physically and partially by chemical methods. So that it … Read more

CRP test is an important biomarker of inflammatory cytokinesis such as interleukin-6. Therefore c-reactive blood test is used to assess their concentration. It is classified as an acute-phase reactant, which means c-reactive protein concentration rises within a few hours. C-reactive protein increases in the following conditions, Cell injuries Infections Inflammation C-reactive protein principle This test … Read more
We collect and deal with different types of tissues biopsy in the histopathology laboratory. The tissue collection method in the histology laboratory has the following steps. Role of Fixative in tissue collection method After the removal of surgical specimens, they should be placed in a container filled with fixative. For the best fixation, tissue should … Read more
Tissue staining is the second step after collection.Different tissues are colored.differently.There are three main types of histology stains. Specially prepared dyes are used for such staining purposes. Such dyes are prepared by adding the cytochrome to a chromophore. Note: Cytochrome is a compound when mixed with chromophore, forms a dye. This dye can be acidic … Read more
Decalcification is a process used to remove calcium salts from tissue samples. This is primarily done in histology and pathology laboratories. It makes the samples suitable for further processing and microscopic examination. There are many methods, which used to check the decalcification of the different types of tissues. Here we will learn about “End point … Read more
Tissue processing is an important procedure in the histopathology laboratory. It is used to preserve the anatomy of the tissue. In order to cut the fine section of tissue, we need suitable hardness and consistency in the tissue. Therefore these properties can be imparted by the infiltration, by the paraffin wax, celloidin, and by resins. Some … Read more
