What Techniques are Used to Assess Sample Integrity?
Several techniques can be used to assess the integrity of histological samples:
1. Microscopic Examination: Observing the tissue under a microscope to check for signs of degradation or artefacts. 2. Histochemical Staining: Applying specific stains to assess the preservation of cellular components. 3. Immunohistochemistry: Using antibodies to detect specific proteins and assess their localization and preservation.
