Principles of Fixation
- Fixation aims to preserve tissue samples by stabilizing cellular structures.
- Ideal fixatives prevent autolysis and putrefaction while maintaining morphology.
- Types of fixation include chemical, physical, and freezing methods, each with specific applications.
Important Fixatives
- Common fixatives include:
- Formaldehyde: Widely used for routine histology; preserves morphology well.
- Glutaraldehyde: Primarily used for electron microscopy.
- Osmium Tetroxide: Used for lipid preservation and ultrastructural studies.
- Alcohols and Acetone: Useful for cytological specimens.
- Bouin’s Fixative: Ideal for soft tissue fixation.
Factors Affecting Fixation
- Multiple factors impact fixation efficiency, including time, temperature, and tissue type.
- Knowledge of essential precautions is critical to prevent artifacts during fixation.
