Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) control slides contain a section of small intestine.
- Tissue Type: (+) Small Intestine
- All control tissue is sectioned on Superfrost® Plus slides
- Staining validation technical memo included in each set
- All tissues are formalin fixed, paraffin embedded FFPE
- All slides are air dried
- Histo slides are cut at 4 µm, unless otherwise specified
- Standard tissue placement is mid-high on slide
Newcomer supply Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) control slides are for the clear demonstration of nuclei, epithelium, connective tissue and muscle, important tissue elements for documentation of high quality nuclear and cytoplasmic staining
Staining Results:
Nuclei will stain blue
Cytoplasm of epithelium, connective tissue, muscle will stain shades of pink.
These positive control slides are intended to be used to verify histological techniques and reagent reactivity. These slides are to be used for the qualitative purpose of determining positive or negative results, and are not intended to be used for any quantitative purpose.
For quality control measures, use H&E control slides each day that H&E staining is performed and additionally after any H&E solution change. Run H&E Control Slides prior to staining any diagnostic cases to ensure acceptable H&E staining.
Ordering information: All controls are cut in serial sections.
10 set = 10 unstained slides and 1 stained slide.
98 set = 98 unstained slides and 2 stained slides. (First & Last Slides are Stained)
Reactivity of Histo control slides are guaranteed for one year from the date of receipt and should be revalidated after one year to verify continued reactivity.
Please note the following: In human tissue unless otherwise indicated. Histopathology control slides are not quality controlled for IHC methods, as such, we cannot guarantee antigenicity.
