Candida spp. | Sharply outlined in black (Reference slides are included) |
background | green |
Tissue:
(+) Human tissue with candida spp. infection
(-) Human tissue
Note: Tissue type may vary due to availability.
Fixative: 10% Neutral buffered formalin
Embedding: Paraffin
Thickness: 4 μm
Mounting: Mounted on positively charged slides made of pure white glass; air dried
Storage conditions: RT, light-deprived, humidity-controlled
Deparaffinize and rehydrate before use.
Candida Control Slides
All controls are cut in serial sections and packed in three sizes
- 10-ct pack: 10 unstained slides and 1 stained slides
- 20-ct pack: 20 unstained slides and 2 stained slides
- 100-ct pack: 98 unstained slides and 2 stained slides
Note: In each pack the first and last sections were stained to ensure positive consistency
Microscope slides used are made of super white glass and electrically coated
- High quality glass avoids autofluorescence
- Ensures proper tissue section adhesion to the slide surface and avoids the loss of valuable tissue
All tissues are FFPE human tissues
- The intended use of control slides is to qualitatively assess the performance of the special stain and not for quantitative purposes.
Standard tissue placement: the mid-high on slide
- Save expensive reagent
- Allow the placement of patient and control tissue on the same slide.
All unstained tissue sections were air dried unless otherwise specified
- Allow laboratories to dry the section with or without heat according to their own needs.
- Reduce the exposure of control tissue to the heat drying procedure to preserve and potentially increase tissue reactivity.
Delivery Time: In most cases, positive control slides can be shipped in 2 business days
