Tissue Processing
Tissue processing consists of dehydration, clearing, and infiltration. Here, experts share their recommendations for properly executing these steps.
An Introduction to Specimen Processing
"Tissue processing” describes the steps required to take animal or human tissue from fixation to the state where it is completely infiltrated with a suitable histological wax and can be embedded ready for section cutting on the microtome.
Tips and Tricks to Better Histology: Influencing Tissue Processing and Preparation
In this webinar, Fiona Tarbet will investigate some of the effects of poor technique on section and stain quality and identify ways of producing better results.
