Rapid staining protocols often employ a combination of methods to accelerate the staining process:
- Microwave Technology: Microwaves are used to heat staining solutions, which speeds up chemical reactions and reduces staining time. - Automated Stainers: Machines that automate various steps of the staining process, ensuring consistency and efficiency. - Concentrated Staining Solutions: Higher concentrations of dyes and reagents are used to achieve the desired staining intensity more quickly.
