DOI : 10.5146/jcpath.2022.72 Tissues pass through fixation, macroscopic examination and grossing, tissue processing (dehydration, clearing, infiltration), embedding, sectioning, staining and coverslipping periods before microscopic examination. A long list of pathology laboratory supplies are needed for these processes. Formaldehyde, ethyl alcohol, xylene, paraffine, hematoxylin, eosin, giemsa, EA50, EA65, OG65, entellan, hydrochloric acid, formic acid, cryomatrix, tissue processing cassette, basemould, microtome blade, grossing blades, slide, coverslip, slide holder, plastic tissue container are the main supplies of the laboratory. Pathologist should be aware of the technical features of the supplies and prepare the technical specification sheet carefully. Optimal histopathological examination depends on well-fixed, processed and stained tissue sections so we need high quality laboratory supplies. Anahtar Kelimeler : Pathology, Laboratory, Supplies
