What Role Does Technology Play in Reducing Sample Variability?
Advancements in technology have played a significant role in reducing sample variability in histology. Automated tissue processors and stainers ensure consistent and reproducible sample preparation. Digital pathology and image analysis software provide objective and quantitative assessments of histological features, reducing observer variability. Additionally, molecular techniques such as immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization offer precise and specific labeling of cellular components, further enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
