What is the goal of tissue processing?
To produce quality slides for microscopic evaluation by a pathologist.
What is the first and most critical step in tissue processing?
Fixation.
Why is fixation important?
It prevents autolysis and stabilizes tissue to maintain cellular structures.
What is the most commonly used fixative?
10% neutral buffered formalin.
What happens if fixation is inadequate?
It can lead to altered morphology and staining issues.
