Several areas within a histology laboratory can be subject to internal audits. These include:
- Sample Handling: Ensuring correct labeling, tracking, and storage of specimens. - Tissue Processing: Assessing the protocols for fixation, dehydration, clearing, and embedding. - Sectioning and Staining: Evaluating the quality and consistency of sectioning techniques and staining procedures. - Microscopic Examination: Ensuring that microscopes are well-maintained and that slide evaluations are accurate. - Documentation: Verifying that all records and reports are accurate and complete.
