HEMA 2 LEC - Cytochemistry Flashcards
In vitro staining of cells that allows microscopic examination of the cell’s chemical composition
Cytochemistry
Differentiate cell lineage of blasts in acute leukemia
Cytochemistry
are used if constituents are sensitive to heat, light, storage, and processing techniques
Fresh smears
can be used for stable constituents
Aged specimens
