What are the consequences of inadequate air conditioning in a histology lab?

Inadequate air conditioning can lead to several issues, including tissue sample degradation, compromised staining quality, and potential contamination. Without proper temperature and humidity control, tissue samples may undergo autolysis or drying, rendering them unsuitable for examination. Moreover, improper environmental conditions can lead to uneven staining and difficulty in interpreting results. This can ultimately affect the accuracy of diagnoses and research outcomes.
