Clogging can significantly impact the quality and efficiency of histological analysis:
1. Reduced Sample Quality: Blockages can damage tissue samples, leading to poor-quality sections that are difficult to analyze. 2. Inconsistent Staining: Obstructions can prevent reagents from evenly distributing, resulting in uneven staining and unreliable results. 3. Equipment Downtime: Frequent clogging requires cleaning and maintenance, leading to delays and reduced laboratory productivity. 4. Increased Costs: Repeatedly replacing clogged parts and reagents can incur additional costs.
