What Are the Consequences of Poor Thermal Stability?
Poor thermal stability can lead to several issues:
1. Artifact Formation: Temperature fluctuations can cause artifacts such as vacuoles, shrinkage, or swelling in tissue sections. 2. Inconsistent Results: Variability in temperature can lead to inconsistent staining patterns, affecting the interpretation of histological findings. 3. Degradation of Reagents: Reagents that are not stored at appropriate temperatures can lose their efficacy, leading to poor staining quality.
