1. What is the ideal size and thickness of specimen for tissue processing?
- The ideal size should not be more than 5mm thick so 2-4mm size is ideal.
2. What is the purpose of requiring such size and thickness for tissues processing?
- 2-4mm size is preferred to be used in order for the reagents to penetrate the tissues
being tested quickly and effectively
3. In case of lung specimen, what should be the required size and thickness?
- The size depends on the instrument used for biopsy specimen however, 2-3mm size
across and 2-10mm size in length is used most of the time.
4. Draw the actual set-up from the time the tissue specimen is received up to the time
representative sections are obtained for histopathologic processing.
