Recommended Standards for Muscle Biopsies

Type of publication: Clinical research, Guidelines, Pathology, Standard Operating Procedures
Disease: Neuromuscular disease

Muscle biopsy samples should be handled very carefully at all stages to avoid artefacts. For cryostat sections, the samples need to be of a size and shape that allows an easy orientation in order to obtain transverse sections.
