Human Placental Tissue (Basal Plate, Normal) - FFPE Block

Human Placental Tissue (Basal Plate, Normal) - FFPE Block is a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) block containing normal human placenta basal plate tissue from a female donor with no diagnosis of disease. The basal plate of the placenta is the maternal-facing outer layer of the placenta, which can undergo histological changes due to pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia. The tissue contained in this FFPE block was fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) for 24 hours and embedded in immunohistochemistry-grade paraffin. The target FFPE size is 1-2 x 1-2 x 0.5 cm, but this may vary significantly based on the size of the tissue sample. Human Placental Tissue (Basal Plate, Normal) - FFPE Block can be used for immunohistochemistry (IHC) applications.
