Preventing contamination in a histology lab involves several practices:
- Regular Cleaning: Daily cleaning schedules for work surfaces and equipment. - Use of Disposable Items: Whenever possible, use disposable items such as pipettes and gloves. - Controlled Environment: Use of laminar flow hoods and other controlled environments to handle sensitive samples. - Training and Education: Continuous training for lab personnel on best practices and protocols. - Labeling and Segregation: Proper labeling of samples and segregation of different stages of processing to prevent cross-contamination.
