What are the Best Practices for Ensuring Sterility?
To ensure sterility, histology labs follow best practices such as:
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Lab personnel wear gowns, gloves, masks, and hairnets to minimize contamination. - Sterile Workspaces: Work areas are regularly cleaned and disinfected, and sterile barriers are used when necessary. - Proper Instrument Handling: Instruments are handled with care, sterilized before and after use, and stored in sterile conditions. - Controlled Environment: The lab environment is controlled for temperature, humidity, and air quality to reduce contamination risk.
