How Can Cell Viability Be Preserved in Histological Samples?
To ensure high cell viability in histological samples, several best practices should be followed:
- Prompt Processing: Process tissue samples quickly to reduce the time cells spend outside their natural environment. - Proper Fixation: Use appropriate fixation methods and times to preserve cell structure without compromising viability. - Controlled Environment: Maintain samples at optimal temperatures and oxygen levels. - Minimal Handling: Handle samples gently to avoid physical damage.
