Authentication can be achieved through various methods, including:
Labeling and Tracking: Proper labeling of samples is essential. Each sample should have a unique identifier that is recorded in a tracking system. Digital Imaging: High-resolution digital images of slides can be stored and compared to ensure consistency over time. Molecular Techniques: Techniques such as DNA fingerprinting can be used to verify the origin of tissue samples. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Following SOPs ensures that every step of the histological process is performed consistently and accurately.
