Rationale
The Tissue Diagnostics scheme is designed to evaluate the quality of paraffin wax-embedded tissue cassettes in relation to the corresponding H&E stained section, ensuring strong concordance and more informed assessment and feedback. Variability in both fixation and processing techniques can lead to technical challenges in routine practice, affecting both H&E staining and subsequent diagnostic testing. The block and associated slide submitted must accurately represent the case and reflect the quality of work typically performed as part of the daily workload.
Submission
1 Paraffin wax embedded tissue block together with the corresponding H&E stained section from the date indicated on the delivery letter, per asset.
