Histology samples are typically stored using various methods depending on the type of analysis required. Common methods include:
Formalin fixation: A widely used method for preserving tissue morphology by cross-linking proteins. Cryopreservation: Involves freezing samples at ultra-low temperatures to preserve cellular and molecular structures. Paraffin embedding: Samples are fixed, dehydrated, and embedded in paraffin wax blocks for long-term storage and sectioning.
