How are Paraffin Blocks Used in Research and Diagnosis?
Paraffin blocks are widely used in both research and clinical diagnostics:
- Histopathology: In clinical settings, paraffin blocks are used to diagnose diseases by examining tissue morphology. - Research: In research, they help in studying cellular and tissue structures, disease mechanisms, and the effects of treatments. - Immunohistochemistry: Paraffin-embedded tissues are used in immunohistochemistry to detect specific antigens using antibodies.
