How Can Environmental Factors Influence Tissue Samples?
Environmental conditions during tissue processing can significantly impact the quality of histological samples. For instance, fluctuations in temperature can cause artifacts in tissue sections. The pH of fixation and staining solutions can alter tissue morphology and staining intensity. Humidity levels during embedding and sectioning can also affect the quality of tissue sections. Controlling these environmental factors through proper laboratory setup and equipment maintenance is essential to reduce variability.
