Abstract

For pathologists, tissue processing and analysis require good preservation of both the shape (morphology) and the content of the cells (antigens, nucleic acids). Low temperature embedding resins are the only inclusion substrate which allows both a fine morphological analysis and good preservation of antigens and nucleic acids. Automatic the technical processes and simplified protocols now allow the introduction of low temperature embedding resins in diagnostic procedures.
