PORTABLE MEDICAL INCUBATOR
When a patient or physician finds something suspicious or something they do not think should be there, a biopsy is often needed. While a patient might be very concerned about having a biopsy, they are quite common and are very helpful diagnostic tools. MayoClinic.com describes what exactly a biopsy is, “A biopsy is a procedure to remove a piece of tissue or a sample of cells from your body so that it can be analyzed in a laboratory. If you’re experiencing certain signs and symptoms or if your doctor has identified an area of concern, you may undergo a biopsy to determine whether you have cancer or some other condition. While imaging tests, such as X-rays, are helpful in detecting masses or areas of abnormality, they alone can’t differentiate cancerous cells from noncancerous cells. For the majority of cancers, the only way to make a definitive diagnosis is to use a biopsy to collect cells for closer examination.” Certainly, no one wants to have a biopsy but, when they are necessary they want to make sure their biopsy is handled with care to ensure accurate results. There are specific temperatures that each biopsy needs to be kept at, depending on the type of biopsy. When a specific temperature is needed, it is very important that the temperature is maintained at all times. Often, a biopsy needs to be shipped from a medical facility to a laboratory and, during transport, runs the risk of experiencing a temperature excursion. Should the biopsy encounter extreme temperature changes it could run the risk of becoming permanently damaged and unusable.
