Histology

Fixation & Specimen Management

Welcome to the foundation of histotechnology! Before a pathologist can examine a tissue sample under a microscope to render a life-changing diagnosis, that tissue must be chemically and physically preserved. If left unattended, fresh tissue immediately begins to degrade. Fixation is the critical process that stops biological decay, locks cellular and architectural components into a permanent "snapshot" of life, and prepares the tissue to withstand the harsh chemicals and physical stress of laboratory processing.
