What Does It Cover?
From tissue processing to slide coverslipping, the histology workflow is laden with hazardous steps. Chemical sensitizers, strong acids, alkaline substances, and oxidizing agents are routinely used during histological workflows. These classes of chemicals are known to damage and even destroy living tissues. Ensuring the safety of laboratory workers is of the utmost importance. This workshop will present new approaches to help make the histopathology laboratory a safer environment with the use of formalin-free fixatives, phenol-free stains, DBP-free mounting media, IVD-certified ready-to-use reagents, and more.
What Will You Learn?
- New approaches to safety in the histology lab
- Using environmentally friendly products to less hazardous waste
- Safety advice, comparing the past with the current safety standards
Who Should Attend?
- Histotechnologists
- Lab Managers
- Residents/Histotech Students
