Several factors contribute to inconsistent reagent quality, including:
Manufacturing Variability: Differences in production processes can result in batch-to-batch variations in reagent quality. Storage Conditions: Improper storage, such as exposure to light, temperature fluctuations, and humidity, can degrade reagent efficacy. Expiry Dates: Using reagents past their expiration date can lead to compromised results. Supplier Differences: Variability between different suppliers can lead to inconsistencies in reagent performance.
