What are the consequences of not replacing consumables timely?
Failure to replace consumables timely can result in several issues: 1. Compromised sample integrity: Expired or degraded chemicals can lead to poor fixation or staining, affecting sample quality. 2. Inaccurate results: Dull microtome blades can produce uneven sections, leading to inaccurate histological analysis. 3. Increased costs: Poor-quality samples may need to be reprocessed, increasing overall laboratory costs. 4. Risk to patient safety: Inaccurate diagnostic results can lead to incorrect treatment decisions, adversely affecting patient outcomes.
