Several techniques are used for mixing in histology, including:
1. Vortex Mixing: A rapid, circular motion used to mix small volumes of liquid. 2. Magnetic Stirring: Utilizes a magnetic stir bar placed in the liquid and a magnetic field to rotate the stir bar, mixing the solution. 3. Rotary Mixing: Involves rotating the container, usually at a controlled speed, to mix the contents. 4. Manual Mixing: Simply shaking or stirring by hand, suitable for small volumes or when precise control is not critical.
