Several technologies can aid in maintaining cleanliness in histology labs:
1. Automated Stainers: These machines minimize manual handling of samples, reducing the risk of contamination. 2. Laminar Flow Hoods: Provide a sterile environment for sample preparation by directing HEPA-filtered air over the workspace. 3. Digital Pathology: Minimizes the need for physical slides by using digital images for analysis, thus reducing contamination risks.
