What are the Common Challenges in Collecting Specimens?
Collecting specimens for histology involves several challenges:
Degradation: Tissue can degrade quickly if not properly fixed, leading to poor quality slides. Contamination: Specimens must be handled in a sterile environment to avoid contamination that can obscure results. Labeling Errors: Mislabeling specimens can lead to incorrect diagnoses and treatment plans.
Addressing these challenges requires strict protocols and careful handling.
