Abstract:
The workload from the rapid handling of transplantation biopsies is increasing in many pathology laboratories. By using a novel tissue processor (the MED'LASS Paraffinator, F.R.G.) that employs continuously distilled acetone for tissue dehydration, it is possible to prepare high-quality hematoxylin-and-eosin sections in under 90 min. The slides are comparable to those processed by traditional methods and yield excellent results with special stains and immunohistochemical techniques.
