A regular inspection in a histology lab typically includes several key components:
Sample Preparation: Ensuring that tissue samples are correctly fixed, embedded, sectioned, and mounted. Staining Quality: Assessing the consistency and accuracy of different staining methods such as H&E, PAS, and special stains. Microscopic Examination: Reviewing slides under a microscope to ensure that cellular structures are clearly visible and well-preserved. Equipment Maintenance: Checking that all laboratory equipment, such as microtomes, cryostats, and microscopes, are functioning correctly and are properly calibrated. Record Keeping: Verifying that all records, including sample logs and inspection reports, are accurately maintained.
