What are the Advantages of Microwave Assisted Dehydration?
There are several advantages to using microwave assisted dehydration in histology:
Speed: The process is much faster than traditional dehydration methods. What usually takes hours can be reduced to minutes. Efficiency: Microwaves ensure uniform heating, leading to consistent and thorough dehydration of tissues. Preservation: Rapid dehydration minimizes the risk of tissue shrinkage and distortion, preserving the tissue's morphology. Energy Savings: Microwave ovens consume less energy compared to conventional ovens, making the process more energy-efficient.
