How is Customization Achieved in Sample Preparation?
Sample preparation is the first critical step in histology. Customization can involve adjusting the fixation method based on the tissue type and the intended analysis. For example, formalin fixation is standard, but alternative fixatives like Bouin's solution may be used for specific tissues. Additionally, embedding mediums such as paraffin or cryoembedding are chosen based on the subsequent analysis needs.
