[The accelerated method of paraffin embedding in pathohistological practice].

Abstract

An accelerated method of paraffin embedding of placentas in pathohistological practice is suggested allowing to get micropreparations stained with hematoxylin and eosin and other methods from 500 500 and more blocks 4-5 hours after cutting. This enables to analyze material from groups of risk among children born alive and rapid informing neonatologists and pediatricians. The method is based on rejection of formaldehyde fixation (this excludes a toxic effect on the personnel). Use of acetone combines fixation and dehydration. The reagents usable for technical reasons make the proposed method cost effective.
