Several techniques are employed to maintain quality control in histology:
1. Routine Calibration of Equipment: Ensuring that all laboratory equipment, such as microtomes and staining machines, are regularly calibrated and maintained.
2. Use of Control Samples: Incorporating control samples in each batch to compare against patient samples for consistency.
3. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Implementing and strictly following SOPs for every step of the histological process to minimize variability and errors.
4. Regular Training: Providing continuous training and assessment for laboratory personnel to keep them updated on best practices and new techniques.
