Several methods can be employed to ensure light proof storage of histological samples:
1. Opaque Containers: Using opaque or dark-colored containers can effectively block light. Containers made of materials like black plastic or colored glass are commonly used. 2. Aluminum Foil Wrapping: Wrapping slides or containers in aluminum foil provides an additional layer of protection against light exposure. 3. Dark Storage Cabinets: Storing samples in cabinets with doors that block out light can be an effective solution. These cabinets should be placed in areas with minimal ambient light. 4. Light Proof Slide Boxes: Specially designed slide boxes that prevent light penetration are available and can be used for storing slides.
