Hi,
Please we are having problems getting great slides from
tissue/biopsy specimens like gastric, esophageal, needdle biopsy and
Liver Biopsy. Our pathologists are not happy at all because of this
situation.
I will really, really appreciate if you guys in histoland could
suggest some solutions that could stop the problem.
Hoping to read from you guys asap. You guys are the best.
Thanks,
Wilson
Wilson,
Have you try soften your biopsy tissues in ammonium water (~ 10%)
before sectioning? That's seem to work very well for my lab.
You can email me for more detail if needed.
