Pathology in Practice looks into a simple but effective solution to stop tissue sections becoming detached and floating away when faced with the processing conditions typical of techniques such immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridisation.
Why didn’t the tissue stick? This question has been asked time and time again. Failure of tissue samples to adhere to microscope slides is not a new problem and there have been many approaches to a solution.
Trajan Scientific and Medical (Trajan) believes the humble slide plays a critical role, and using the right type of slide can make a huge difference in tissue adhesion, section orientation, more efficient laboratory workflows, effective processing for more accurate diagnoses and improved reporting turnaround times for patients.
Slide production and technology has not changed much over recent times. However, technical requirements for diagnostic slides have changed dramatically over the same period, with many techniques going from manual benchtop methodology to fully automated platforms.
