Prime Physicians Histotechnologists meticulously work on embedding, cutting, staining, and mounting tissue specimens, ensuring they are of the highest quality for accurate diagnosis. They play a crucial role in the field of pathology, contributing to the detection and understanding of diseases, cancer, and other medical conditions. Their precise techniques are instrumental in providing critical insights that guide patient treatment and medical research.
Roles and Responsibilities of a Histotechnologist:
Tissue Processing:
Prepare and process human, animal, or plant tissue samples for microscopic examination.
Embedding:
Embed tissue specimens into blocks of paraffin wax so they can be cut into thin sections.
Sectioning:
Use microtomes to cut ultra-thin sections of tissue specimens for mounting on slides.
