Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a puncture sample fixing and staining solution, belonging to the technical field of specimen processing. Background Art

[0002] Pathology is a discipline based on the observation of cell morphology, providing an important basis for clinical diagnosis. With the development of medical technology, tissue puncture technology is becoming increasingly widely used to facilitate disease diagnosis and reduce patient suffering. However, this is accompanied by difficulties in fixation and staining of punctured tissue. Compared with conventional samples, puncture samples are smaller in size and are thin strips. If the punctured tissue is not stained or stained insufficiently during the pathology sampling process, after the fixation, dehydration, clearing, and wax immersion procedures, the tissue will appear white. During the subsequent embedding and sectioning process, the tissue and paraffin wax will be indistinguishable, resulting in tissue omission or loss during the sectioning process, making the work difficult to proceed. Therefore, the staining and labeling steps of the punctured tissue are particularly important.

[0003] The existing technology usually involves adding eosin dye to the tissue fixative, which can color the puncture sample to a certain extent and play a role in discovery and identification before making a tissue wax block. However, after the puncture sample stained with eosin is fixed, dehydrated, transparent, wax-impregnated, embedded, etc. to form a wax block, the eosin color on some puncture samples fades or becomes lighter. During the process of making pathological sections of the tissue in the wax block, it cannot play a role in discovery and identification of the puncture sample.

[0004] In summary, the present invention provides a rapid fixation staining solution for puncture samples, which has better coloring and clinical practicality compared with the existing technology. The application of the present invention is of great significance to improving the development of pathology and clinical pathology diagnosis and treatment in my country. Summary of the Invention
