Staining is crucial for visualizing different tissue components under a microscope. Quality checks involve:
- Using control slides to ensure staining consistency. - Verifying that the Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stains are producing the expected results. - Ensuring that special stains and immunohistochemical stains are specific and reproducible.
Staining protocols should be standardized, and reagents should be checked for expiration and contamination.
