To ensure the stability of drugs in histology, consider the following practices:
- Proper Storage: Store drugs and reagents as per the manufacturer's guidelines. Use refrigeration or freezing for temperature-sensitive compounds. - Light Protection: Use amber-colored bottles or store in dark cabinets to protect light-sensitive reagents. - pH Control: Prepare and store solutions with appropriate buffers to maintain stable pH levels. - Sterile Techniques: Use aseptic methods to avoid contamination, and always use fresh, uncontaminated supplies. - Regular Monitoring: Periodically check the physical appearance and performance of reagents. Discard any that show signs of instability, such as precipitation or discoloration.
