Opuntia vulgaris Cladode Extracts a Novel Source for Tissue Section Adhesive in Histology Laboratory

Thermodynamic force drive cells to produces different bio molecules can be used to visualization of human tissue ultra-structure coupled with microscopic image into explainable text in histology laboratory in modern science. However, excellence of histology microscopy slide tissue section adhesive is carries a significant impact on the histology techniques for identification of abnormal cells structure and secretory functions and selection of best management method for various types of diseases in modern clinical practice. Currently using adhesive Mayer’s egg albumin concerns on slides background stain in slides therefore necessitate effective tissue section adhesive needed to histology laboratory practice. Present study aimed to evaluating the Opuntia vulgaris cladode extract on the tissue section adhesive effectiveness in liver tissues sections and using H/E staining against Aloe vera and Mayer’s egg albumin. Observed that Opuntia vulgaris extract coated stained section displayed no stain background compared with egg albumin and Aloe vera adhesive coated tissue section slides. Ultra-structural were analysed under microscopic 10x and 40x magnifications, observed that no noticeable changes in Opuntia vulgaris adhesive coated tissue section slides. Present study we reporting that Opuntia vulgaris extract suggestive alternative for Mayer’s egg albumin slide tissue section adhesive in histology laboratory.
