Thermal stability is essential for several reasons:
1. Preservation of Tissue Morphology: High or fluctuating temperatures can cause tissue samples to degrade, leading to loss of cellular detail. 2. Consistency in Staining: Many staining techniques rely on specific temperature conditions to achieve consistent results. Variations can lead to inconsistent staining patterns. 3. Enzyme Activity: Enzymatic reactions used in histochemical techniques are temperature-sensitive. Maintaining thermal stability ensures accurate enzyme activity.
