ABSTRACT
Tissue clearing methods render biological tissues transparent while maintaining tissue structure, enabling visualization of entire tissues. Recent developments in tissue clearing have predominantly emphasized preserving intrinsic fluorescent proteins or aqueous-based tissue clearing and so typically involve complex procedures and long processing times. The utilization of tissue clearing protocols in standard of care histology settings has been less well explored, and protocols for rapid clearing of human tissue specimens are limited. This study presents a novel rapid clearing protocol and demonstrates a low-cost tissue processor for high volume rapid tissue clearing that can be intergraded into standard histology workflow. We demonstrate rapid clearing in dermatological specimens, including both nonmelanoma and melanoma excisions.
