    This study presents a new method for processing aspiration biopsy samples for electron microscopy. Using a nylon sieve to remove red blood cells significantly improves the yield of analyzable tissue fragments.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical science
    • Microscopy techniques
    • Cellular biology

    Background:

    • Electron microscopy requires high-quality samples.
    • Aspiration biopsy samples often contain red blood cells that can interfere with analysis.
    • Current methods may not optimize cellular yield.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel technique for processing aspiration biopsy samples.
    • To enhance the quality and yield of tissue for electron microscopy.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of red blood cell separation.

    Main Methods:

    • A nylon sieve was utilized to separate red blood cells from tissue fragments.
    • Tissue fragments were pelleted after separation.
    • Standard electron microscopy processing protocols were applied to the separated tissue.
