Table 9.1 shows the list of commonly used special stains in histopathology and cytology laboratory. The paraffin section process is as follows: Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stainingis used routinely in histopathology laboratories as it provides the pathologist/researcher a very detailed view of the tissue. Special stains are dyes or substances used for special purpose in a histopathology laboratory. These liver sections were stained by the same method. Please contact the laboratory if you have questions about the application of these stains in your projects. While many larger laboratories do useautomated instrumentsfor the more common stains, they still have an area for hand staining. Timing is always approximate. All rights reserved.
