• Has convenient shelf life and storage
• Will be safe for user and environment
• Will preserve tissue in life like manner
• Will not add artefact material to tissue
• Will add artefact material to tissue
Questão 5
Questão
Select Three fixative/s that can be used for Cytology smears?
Responda
Spray fixed with aerosol of propanol and acetone+ Poly ethylene glycol- a water soluble wax
Methanol
Ethanol
Xylene
Sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate 4g
Questão 6
Questão
Select Three physical agents that can be used to assist in the fixation of tissues.
Responda
Microwave
Heat
Ultrasound
Freeze
Questão 7
Questão
True or false: autolysis represents the changes to tissue that occur before fixation due to bacterial contamination.
Responda
True
False
Questão 8
Questão
What type of fixative is Neutral Buffered Formalin classed as?
Responda
Universal fixative
Fixative used for specific purposes
Questão 9
Questão
Why is Formalin Buffered to a neutral pH?
Responda
because the further a fixative is from the pH of body tissues the more distortion you can get in the tissue at the cellular level.
because the further a fixative is from the pH of body tissues the less distortion you can get in the tissue at the cellular level.
Questão 10
Questão
What is the function of xylene in tissue processing?
Responda
To cut sections, the tissue has to be embedded in paraffin wax, but wax is not soluble in water or alcohol. However, it is soluble in a paraffin solvent called 'xylene'.
Cleaning up the lab station to prevent contamination of other specimens and users of the facilities
Questão 11
Questão
Why is the histological section cut to approximately 5µm thick?
Responda
- Sample needs to be thin enough for light microscopy (about 1 cell layer thick)
- makes it easier to evaluate tissue and look at its morphology
- Provides enough thickness to account for cell to cell ratio
Questão 12
Questão
List method/s used for the collection of Cytology samples.
Responda
- Pap Smears, Endoscopy samples, some FNA (fine needle aspiration) specimens
- Blood test, saliva test, sputum collection
Questão 13
Questão
Give an example of a Chemical Fixative that belongs to Aldehydes
Responda
- Formaldehyde, Glutaraldehyde
- Ethanol, Methanol
Questão 14
Questão
Give an example of a Chemical Fixative that belongs to Oxidising agents
Responda
- Osmium tetroxide, Potassium Dichromate
- Ethanol, Methanol
Questão 15
Questão
Give an example of a Chemical Fixative that belongs to Protein coagulants
Responda
- Ethanol, Methanol
- Mercuric Chloride, Picric acid
Questão 16
Questão
Give an example of a Chemical Fixative that belongs to Uncertain mechanism
