Why Are My Stains Too Light or Too Dark?

Achieving the right intensity in staining is crucial for proper tissue analysis. If stains are too light, it could be due to insufficient staining time, low concentration of dyes, or poor tissue fixation. Conversely, if stains are too dark, this could result from prolonged staining time, overly concentrated dyes, or inadequate dehydration and clearing processes.
Solution for Light Stains: Increase staining time, check dye concentration, and ensure proper fixation.
Solution for Dark Stains: Reduce staining time, dilute the dyes, and ensure proper dehydration and clearing.
