What are the Key Environmental Factors to Control?
Several environmental factors must be controlled in a histology laboratory:
Temperature: Maintaining a consistent temperature is crucial for proper fixation and processing of tissue samples. Humidity: Excessive humidity can cause mold growth and affect tissue sectioning and staining. Air Quality: Clean air reduces the risk of contamination from dust and other particulates. Lighting: Proper lighting conditions are necessary to avoid photobleaching of stained slides.
