Tissue Processing
(Histo-techniques)
Dr Rajiv Ranjan
Histology
• AKA Microanatomy( microscopic anatomy)
• Tissue section varies from 2–10 μm
• Pathological  deviation from normal
Step 1. Tissue fixation
• Purpose is to prevent tissue autolysis and putrefaction.
• Biological tissue samples should be transferred into fixative immediately
• Most specimens are fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin.(1:10 ratio)*
• Most tissues to become adequately fixed within 24-48 hours.
Step 2.Tissue processing
• Dehydration is the first step, which involves immersing your
specimen in increasing concentrations of alcohol to remove the water
and formalin from the tissue.
• Clearing is the next step, in which an organic solvent such as xylene is
used to remove the alcohol and allow infiltration with paraffin wax.
• Embedding is the final step, where specimens are infiltrated with the
embedding agent – usually paraffin wax. The tissue becomes
surrounded by a large block of molten paraffin wax, creating what is
now referred to as the “block”. Once the block solidifies, it provides a
support matrix that allows very thin sectioning.
Step 3. Sectioning
Step 4. Staining
(HE stain)
• Hematoxylin : stains the nucleus of the cell, specifically, the chromatin.
• It acts as a basic dye, can react with acidic (basophilic) cell components, such as
nucleic acids in the nucleus. These stain blue as a result.
• Also stains ribosomes and cytoplasmic regions rich in RNA
• Eosin : is referred to as a counterstain.
• It acts as an acidic dye, stains (basic) acidophilic components in the tissue, such
as amino groups in proteins in the cytoplasm. These stain pink as a result.
• Also stains RBCs, muscle and collagen in varying intensities of pink
