A simplified multitissue block.
Multitissue blocks are rapidly gaining acceptance as useful control materials for the immunohistochemistry laboratory. Moreover, they may be conveniently and economically used to screen antibodies and optimize the assay conditions. Several schemes of preparation of multitissue blocks have been proposed. The author describes an improved method for preparing multitissue blocks; this method requires no special equipment or skills.
