What role do regulatory bodies play in the commercialization of histology products?

Regulatory bodies play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of commercial histology products. They establish guidelines and standards that manufacturers must adhere to, which include rigorous testing and validation processes. Organizations such as the FDA and CE marking in Europe ensure that products meet specific criteria before they can be marketed. Compliance with these regulations helps maintain the integrity of histological research and diagnostics.
