A separate policy . To assess the staining quality of eosin you may want to use epithelial, muscle and lymphoid tissue to better visualize nuclei. While it is true that AST validation is a challenging task for clinical microbiology laboratories, there are a wealth of resources available to provide guidance and support throughout the process. Elucidate the eight steps involved in a method validation. With this ideal in mind, do some test runs with several different types of tissues. Data transparency and susceptibility testing in the clinical laboratory are more important than ever before. reading frozen section slides, reviewing immunohistochemistry slides, etc.).
