Usage | Ⅰ. Sample requirements 1. Formalin-fixed wax blocks or glass slides, large tissues or TMA, and sealing wax cannot be obviously damaged. 2. For glass slide samples, the tissue needs to be close to the glass slide to avoid wrinkles, and the glass slide must not be damaged, scratched or stained. 3. The tissue should contain at least more than 1000 cells. 4. The wax block needs to be embedded with solid tumor tissue, and necrotic tumor tissue, fine needle punctures, and cell slice samples will affect the staining effect. 5. The tissue should be fixed with 10% neutral formalin, and the normal fixation time is 18-24h. 6. The thickness of the slice is about 4um, and anti-detachment slides are used. It is recommended that the glass slides be prepared within one week after fixation. 7. Do not add any adhesive in the water bath fishing process. The sample should be placed on the front and center of the slide. Place the slide vertically on absorbent paper to remove water, tap gently to remove water droplets, and do not wipe the slide with paper. 8. Place the glass slide on a hot plate at 45 °C for 30 minutes (the natural air-drying time of the glass slide is not less than 1h).
Ⅱ. Inspection method 1. Required instruments and equipment: pipette, constant temperature drying oven, microwave oven, immunohistochemical pen, repair cup, dyeing cylinder, timer, incubation wet box, cover glass, fume hood, bottle washing, fluorescence microscope, measuring cylinder 100ml, measuring cylinder 1000ml, etc. 2.

Ⅴ. Description of results 1. The changes of microwave repair antigen, incubation time and temperature may all lead to wrong results. 2. In each staining process, tissue positive control and reagent negative control experiments must be carried out at the same time. 3. If the positive tissue control cannot show positive staining, the test results of this batch of samples should be judged to be invalid.
Ⅵ. Product performance indicators 1. Conformity: Take the conforming tissue slice (including positive tissue slice and negative reagent control), and after the corresponding immunohistochemical test, the positive control staining result is positive, and the negative control staining result is negative. 2. Intra-batch repeatability: Take the same batch of kits and detect 3 sections of the same tissue. The staining results should be consistent. |
