Jun 28, 2019 · Cell-blocks are paraffin-embedded versions of cytology specimens comparable to the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue from surgical pathology specimens. They allow various elective ancillary studies on a variety of specimens with enhanced cytopathologic interpretation, including opportunity to perform molecular tests.
Mar 1, 2023 · Cell blocks play a pivotal role in the practice of cytopathology today. • The following review explores the most common cell block preparation methods including preparation methods with modifications with advantages and limitations of each method
Jan 31, 2024 · Cell block (CB) is a processing method used to create a “button” in cells, which is then processed as histopathology. The CB processes routine cytology samples, such as fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and fluid samples.
Jan 1, 2017 · Cell-blocks technique is a method through which paraffin embedded blocks from cytological specimen (fine needle aspirates, cutting needle cores, body fluids and residual sediment or other cytological specimen) or from small histological specimens can be obtained/produced. Principle.
Jan 31, 2017 · METHODS. The authors developed an effective and inexpensive process for producing cell blocks that consistently yields abundant cellular material, which they have termed the Cell-Gel method. This method can be simplified into 3 main steps: 1) preparing the sample; 2) constructing the cell block; and 3) processing the cell block.
The Cell-Gel method can be simplified into 3 main steps: 1) preparing the sample; 2) constructing the cell block; and 3) processing the cell block. Sample preparation involves submitting FNA specimens directly into a hemo-lytic fixative or adding a hemolytic fixative to concentrated fluid samples.
Objective: The cell block (CB) technique refers to the processing of sediments, blood clots, or grossly visible tissue fragments from cytological specimens into paraffin blocks that can be cut and stained by the same methods used for histopathology. The technique brings additional tissue architectural information.
