Rapid test for microscopic tumor cell assessment in operating theater

摘要

Test for microscopic tumor cell assessment in the operating theater comprises transferring cells from tumor or tumor sections onto sterilized microscope slides during surgery, staining the cells, especially with aqueous acidic hematoxylin for 1-2 minutes, rinsing the slides with tap-water or warm water, applying drops of embedding agent, and covering the samples with relatively thick cover slips.
