What Are the Consequences of Incomplete Sterilization?
Incomplete sterilization can have several adverse effects on histological processes:
Contamination: The presence of live microorganisms can contaminate tissue samples, leading to erroneous results. Artifacts: Microbial contaminants can create artifacts that obscure the true histological features of the sample. Inaccurate Diagnosis: Contaminated samples can lead to misdiagnosis, affecting clinical outcomes.
