The Banking-Seal/Card can block exposure to air, and prevent the deactivation of molecules for a long term. When banking your tissue you are able to keep it in the same state as the sliced specimen.It is also useful for the production of a bank and tissue array of collected tissues from plural facilities. Additionally, you can use this when a block cannot but thin-sliced specimen can be taken out.[Protocol: [1] Issued an aspect of a paraffin-embedded block ※1Put the Banking-Seal torn off from a mount on the surface.Put the center of the Banking-Seal to the tissue, and stick it firmly trying to prevent even a littleair bubble from getting between the tissue and the Banking-Seal. It is easier to thin-slice if putthe margin of it on the corner that hits the handle portion to the first blade of a microtome.[2] Set a microtome on the thickness 100 to 200 um, and then slice as usual. ※2If you warm the block slightly the section will derive from the microtome blade easier.A sliced specimen will be sliced out clinging to the Banking-Seal. (fig1), (fig2)[3] Stick the Banking-Seal with sliced specimen to theBanking-Card. ※3 (fig3)[4] Fill in the tissue information on the Banking-Card, and put a bar cord (of your facility) if needed.This can make it easier to connect it to the clinical pathological information. (fig4)[5] Place the Banking-Seal and Card into a sealed bag.Preferably keep them in refrigeration storage.Try to avoid high temperature and humidity.[Cautions: Do not use for other purposes.Do not use for frozen specimen.When making re-embedding paraffinblocks, use the Transfer-Seal.Avoid water because it will make the adhesiveness of the Banking-Seal to the Banking-Cardweaker.Avoid hot and humid place because it might make it difficult to detach the Banking-Seal.When punching, be careful about contaminations.
