Contamination in histology can have serious consequences, including:
1. Compromised Samples: Non-sterile samples may show signs of microbial growth, making it difficult to discern the actual histological features. 2. Erroneous Results: Contaminants can lead to false-positive or false-negative results, affecting the diagnosis. 3. Wasted Resources: Contaminated samples often need to be discarded, leading to wasted time, materials, and effort.
