Chemical stability is important in histology for several reasons:
Preservation of Tissue Samples:Tissue samples need to be chemically stable to prevent degradation over time. This is especially important when samples are stored for long periods or transported between laboratories. Accuracy of Staining: Many histological techniques involve the use of stains and dyes that must remain chemically stable to produce consistent and accurate results. Reproducibility: Ensuring that reagents and samples are chemically stable allows for reproducibility in experiments and diagnoses, which is critical for scientific research and clinical practice.
