Routine Histology
At IntegriT Labs, routine histology is not just a process; it is a commitment to excellence in every detail. Each biopsy we handle is treated with the utmost care, transforming samples into valuable insights that guide patient care.
Tissue Processing & Embedding
This service involves preparing tissue samples by fixing them in 10% neutral buffered formalin, dehydrating them through a series of alcohol solutions, and embedding them in paraffin wax. This step is essential to preserve the cellular architecture of the tissue, making it suitable for sectioning and diagnostic analysis.
Sectioning & Staining
After embedding, tissue samples are sectioned into thin slices (usually 3-5 microns thick) using a microtome. These sections are then placed on slides and stained. A routine Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stain is used to highlight nuclear and cytoplasmic tissue structures.
Slide Analysis & Pathology Reporting
Once slides are stained, they are analyzed by a Dermatopathologist. This service includes routine histological examination and may call for more advanced diagnostic services, such as Immunohistochemical (IHC) and special staining depending on the complexity of the case.
