October 2022—StatLab has released Tissue­Guard, an agarose gel that stabilizes and protects small or fragile specimens during processing while allowing reagent penetration. Tissue­Guard can be used for cytology samples, including fine-needle aspirates, urine and nongynecological specimens, and other specimens using cell block preparation, and for histology applications, including needle biopsies, nerves, small arteries, aggregates, lymph nodes, and small tissue fragments. The gel does not stain and remains invisible when blocks are cut.
