Saline solution is preferred in histological applications for several reasons:
Isotonic Nature: Its isotonicity prevents osmotic damage to cells and tissues, preserving morphological integrity. Non-Toxic: Saline solution is non-toxic and does not interfere with cellular structures or biochemical processes, making it safe for biological tissues. Versatile: It can be used in a variety of applications, from tissue hydration to washing and rinsing during staining protocols. Availability: Saline solution is easy to prepare and commercially available, making it accessible for routine use in histology labs.
