Microfluidic Probe for Advanced Staining of Human Tissue Sections
نویسندگان
چکیده
A key challenge in diagnostic pathology is to provide accurate and precise diagnostics with limited excised tissue. It is also increasingly important to test the tissue samples against multiple markers to enhance the confidence in results and sub-type the diseases for personalized treatment therapies. To this end, we performed local chemical reactions and staining on tissue sections using a scanning microfluidic probe (MFP). With the MFP, human thyroid tissue sections were locally treated with anti-thyroglobulin and counterstains, enabling the possibility to optimize in real-time the staining conditions individually for each tissue/antibody pair.

Micro-immunohistochemistry using a microfluidic probe.
A flexible method to extract more high-quality information from tissue sections is critically needed for both drug discovery and clinical pathology. Here, we present micro-immunohistochemistry (μIHC), a method for staining tissue sections at the micrometre scale. Nanolitres of antibody solutions are confined over micrometre-sized areas of tissue sections using a vertical microfluidic probe (vMF...

We recently reported on multiplexed and adaptive staining of tissue sections in the micrometer-scale using the vertical microfluidic probe. With this approach, in addition to staining tissue sections precisely for high-quality information, the paraffin embedded tissue sections can now be locally dewaxed and processed for subsequent staining. This will ensure the re-use of valuable tissue sectio...

متن کاملTissue lithography: Microscale dewaxing to enable retrospective studies on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections
We present a new concept, termed tissue lithography (TL), and its implementation which enables retrospective studies on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Tissue lithography uses a microfluidic probe to remove microscale areas of the paraffin layer on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsy samples. Current practices in sample utilization for research and diagnostics require comp...
متن کاملMicrofluidics for rapid cytokeratin immunohistochemical staining in frozen sections
Frozen sections (FS) of tumor samples represent a cornerstone of pathological intraoperative consultation and have an important role in the microscopic analysis of specimens during surgery. So far, immunohistochemical (IHC) stainings on FS have been demonstrated for a few markers using manual methods. Microfluidic technologies have proven to bring substantial improvement in many fields of diagn...
