Several key parameters are monitored in histology laboratories:
Temperature: Maintaining a stable temperature is crucial for the proper preservation and processing of tissue samples. Humidity: High or low humidity can impact the drying of slides and the performance of staining reagents. Air Quality: Monitoring for contaminants such as dust, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other particulates is essential to prevent contamination of samples. Microbial Contamination: Regular checks for microbial presence ensure that samples are not compromised.
