How Can Heat Sensitivity be Mitigated in Histological Practice?

Several strategies can be employed to mitigate heat sensitivity in histological practice:

Temperature Control: Use equipment with precise temperature controls to avoid overheating during embedding and staining processes.
Optimized Protocols: Follow standardized protocols that specify optimal temperatures and exposure times for each step to minimize heat-induced damage.
Use of Alternatives: Consider using alternative fixation methods, such as cryopreservation, for heat-sensitive tissues.
Monitoring and Calibration: Regularly calibrate and monitor laboratory equipment to ensure accurate temperature settings.
