Quality control in histology involves several strategies:
1. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Developing and adhering to SOPs for each step in the histological process. 2. Calibration: Regular calibration of equipment, such as microtomes and microscopes. 3. Control Slides: Using control slides with known histological features to ensure staining consistency. 4. Training: Continuous training and competency assessment of histotechnologists and pathologists. 5. Documentation: Keeping detailed records of each step, including reagent lot numbers and equipment maintenance logs.
