  2. Tissue clearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_clearing

    [1] [10] In the 1980s, Andrew Murray & Marc Kirschner developed a two-step process, wherein tissues were first dehydrated with alcohol and subsequently made transparent by immersion in a mixture of benzyl alcohol and benzyl benzoate (BABB), a technique they coupled with light sheet fluorescence microscopy, [11] [2] [3] which remains the method ...

  3. Fixation (histology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_(histology)

    The sample of tissue is immersed in fixative solution for a set period of time. The fixative solution must have a volume at least 10 times greater than the volume of the tissue. [6] In order for fixation to be successful, the fixative must diffuse throughout the entire tissue, so tissue size and density, as well as type of fixative must be ...

  4. Microtechnique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtechnique

    The substance used to embed tissue is embedding media, which is chosen depends on the category of the microscope, category of the micro tome, and category of tissue. [23] Paraffin wax, whose melting point is from 56 to 62°C, is commonly used for embedding. [22] Tissue processing - Tissue sections on slides are stained on an automated stainer

  5. Histology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histology

    Items used for submitting specimens: (Biopsy) wrap, (biopsy) sponge, (tissue processing) cassette and (biopsy) bag. Selection is the choice of relevant tissue in cases where it is not necessary to put the entire original tissue mass through further processing. The remainder may remain fixed in case it needs to be examined at a later time.

  6. Quality control in tissue engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_control_in_tissue...

    Careful and detailed documentation concerning the characteristics of the starting materials (e.g. history of the cell line derivation and cell banking) and manufacturing process steps (e.g. procurement of tissue or cells and manipulation) must be maintained. The cellular part of every cell-based medicinal product must be characterized in terms ...

  7. Gross processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_processing

    Gross examination of a kidney (right of image) with a renal oncocytoma (left of image).. Gross processing, "grossing" or "gross pathology" is the process by which pathology specimens undergo examination with the bare eye to obtain diagnostic information, as well as cutting and tissue sampling in order to prepare material for subsequent microscopic examination.

  8. Frozen section procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_section_procedure

    The microtome device that cold cuts thin blocks of frozen tissue is called a cryotome. [2] The quality of the slides produced by frozen section is of lower quality than formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue processing. While diagnosis can be rendered in many cases, fixed tissue processing is preferred in many conditions for more accurate ...

  9. Cell culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_culture

    Cell culture or tissue culture is the process by which cells are grown under controlled conditions, generally outside of their natural environment. After cells of interest have been isolated from living tissue , they can subsequently be maintained under carefully controlled conditions.
