What Are the Benefits of Microwave-Assisted Fixation?
Microwave-Assisted Fixation offers several advantages over traditional methods. The rapid penetration of fixatives facilitated by microwaves reduces fixation time significantly, which is crucial for high-throughput laboratories. It also helps minimize shrinkage and distortion, preserving more authentic tissue morphology. Additionally, this method is compatible with immunohistochemical analyses, maintaining antigenicity for accurate detection of specific proteins.
