Using expired reagents in histology can have significant consequences. The primary risks include:
Inaccurate Results: Expired reagents may not react as expected, leading to false negatives or false positives. Compromised Staining Quality: The intensity and specificity of staining can be affected, making it difficult to interpret tissue morphology. Potential Contamination: Expired reagents are more susceptible to contamination, which can affect the entire experiment.
