The Optimization of Fixation & Processing

One of the most fundamentally critical elements of diagnostic histopathology is first the ability to suspend all cellular activity in tissue and prevent degradation, and secondly to process that specimen in a manner that facilitates subsequent steps such as microtomy and staining. The successful result of this is a microscopic image of cellular detail that most closely emulates the morphologic structure of disease as well as normal tissue.  The concept of ‘fluid transfer’ will be emphasized as a key factor attributing to the success of fixation and processing.  Innovative design in instrumentation will be reviewed to better understand how the industry has responded to the demand for more efficient methods.  Benefits and selective use of rapid fixation/processing will be discussed along with methods of troubleshooting. (2 CEU’s)

The Circle of Service

The challenges of health care, particularly in the field of Histology, oftentimes makes it difficult to deliver quality service. This session focuses on the imperative that the Histologist must always remember; that we are an integral and critical part of the diagnostic process. This session will detail the value and wealth that they to the patient, and therefore that they must maintain the standard of 'Quality Care'. (2 CEU’s)
