proper storage

What are the Best Practices for Storing Reagents?

Reagents used in histology, such as fixatives, stains, and antibodies, require specific storage conditions:
Fixatives: Store at room temperature in tightly sealed containers. Examples include formalin and glutaraldehyde.
Stains: Keep in dark, cool places to prevent degradation. Certain stains may require refrigeration.
Antibodies: Store at 4°C for short-term use or -20°C for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
