Backup equipment in histology laboratories can include:
1. Microtomes: Essential for sectioning tissues. Having a backup microtome ensures continuous sample preparation. 2. Cryostats: Used for freezing tissue sections. A backup cryostat is crucial for maintaining workflow, especially in diagnostic labs. 3. Staining Machines: Automated staining machines are vital for consistent staining. Backup machines help maintain staining schedules. 4. Microscopes: Critical for examining tissue sections. Backup microscopes prevent delays in analysis.
