This book provides a concise definition of the fundamental principles and techniques involved in histotechnology. A chapter on Laboratory Risk Management emphasizes the importance of instrumentation, quality control and safety precautions in the working place. The methods involved in tissue processing, histologic staining and cytology are discussed. The use of microwave as a non-chemical way of tissue stabilization and fixation, rapid tissue processing, archival material, enzyme histochemistry and molecular biological techniques such as in-situ hybridization and polymerase chain reaction techniques are described. This book also includes a brief course in immunology, covering antigen-antibody reactions, and the required steps in immunostaining.
