Tissue processing is the procedure for preparing fixed tissues for embedding in a supporting media such as paraffin, and it consists of three consecutive steps: dehydration, clearing, and infiltration. Most clinical and research settings use an automated tissue processor, with or without microwave aid. To get high-quality findings, processing procedures should be customised to tissue size and composition by changing factors such as chemicals employed and the timing of successive phases.
