An in-depth focus on the recognition and prevention of technical issues that occur in ICC, and guidance on ways to ensure ICC quality in diagnostic cellular pathology.

iQM and iQM2
Importance of Blood Gas quality in POC setting
Achieving >6 sigma quality

On completion of this webinar students will have a basic knowledge of Principles of immunofluorescence, Optimal specimen preparation for DIF, Practical aspects of cryotomy and processing, DIF imaging considerations, Interpretation of DIF, Diagnostic implications of DIF findings.

“From sectioning to interpretation”, a simple overview of the basic ICC processes.

Discussing the different types of staining mechanisms utilised with the routine special demonstration technique protocols in clinical laboratories.

During this session we will look more closely at the benefits of Mohs micrographic surgery to include improved preservation of uninvolved skin, better cosmetic outcomes and how it can be used on problematic infiltrative invasive tumour types. In addition we will consider the technical requirements in detail along with an understanding of the artefacts that can be created during the procedures and how they can also be resolved. Emphasis will be given to developing a comprehensive understanding of the skills required for the laboratory scientist to deliver good quality stained tissue sections

Discussing the clinical importance of renal biopsies, and the associated laboratory techniques and challenges.

Discussing extra cellular proteins fibrin and amyloid along with the application and principles of carbohydrate and mucin classification/demonstration.

Discussing the staining applications and principles employed to classify and demonstrate lipids, common infective agents, pigments and minerals.

An in-depth look at the role of Transmission Electron Microscopy in a modern cellular pathology department. What technical challenges are there in preparing tissue for TEM and what diagnostic challenges does TEM have an important role in.
