szövetblokkok
Szövetblokkok, often translated as tissue blocks, are paraffin-embedded samples of biological tissue used in histology and pathology. These blocks are created by processing tissue specimens, typically biopsies or surgical resections, through a series of steps that include fixation, dehydration, clearing, and infiltration with molten paraffin wax. The infiltrated tissue is then embedded in a mold filled with paraffin wax, which solidifies upon cooling to form a solid block containing the tissue.
The primary purpose of creating tissue blocks is to preserve the tissue structure for microscopic examination.
Tissue blocks are invaluable for long-term storage and archiving. They can be stored for decades, allowing for
