Batch testing involves several steps, each of which must be meticulously controlled to ensure consistency across samples. These steps typically include:
Fixation: Preserves tissue morphology and prevents degradation. Embedding: Involves infiltrating tissue with a medium like paraffin wax to support thin slicing. Sectioning: Cutting thin slices of the embedded tissue using a microtome. Staining: Applying dyes to highlight specific tissue components under a microscope. Mounting: Placing stained sections onto glass slides for examination.
