Sterility in histology labs is achieved through a combination of techniques:
- Surface Sterilization: Lab benches, equipment, and tools are regularly cleaned with disinfectants. - Autoclaving: Instruments and glassware are sterilized using high-pressure steam. - Use of Sterile Consumables: Items like pipettes, slides, and coverslips are pre-sterilized. - Controlled Environment: Work is often conducted in laminar flow hoods that filter airborne particles. - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Lab personnel wear gloves, masks, and lab coats to minimize contamination.
