The fixation process, which prevents degradation, is critical in tissue preservation. Neutral buffered formalin is a commonly used fixative. However, there is a long list of variables in tissue handling that influence tissue quality, from the moment tissue is removed from a patient to formalin fixation and from Formalin Fixation to Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tissue. If the time between tissue collection and formalin fixation is too long, tissue degrades, morphology deteriorates, and pathologists and ability to evaluate morphology is hampered. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has become a standard diagnostic procedure in pathology. It is critical for tumor classification and characterization of underlying agents in many infectious diseases, and it is also becoming more widely used in predictive testing. Dr. Swarna Shivakumar discusses everything you need to know about the tissue handling of transbronchial lung biopsy, with an emphasis on types of samples, various fixatives and different stains that can be used for this procedure.
