Fixative

Introduction Tissue examination is fundamental to histopathology and diagnostic medicine. Every tissue sample starts to degrade right after it is removed from the body because of enzymatic activity and bacterial growth. Preserving cellular structure is

Decalcification

Introduction Hard tissues like bone and calcified lesions present a significant challenge in histological processing. Calcium salts hinder effective sectioning with a microtome and can damage cutting blades. Laboratory professionals meticulously remove these salts while

Biomedical Waste Hazards

Introduction Clinical Biochemistry Laboratories handle blood, urine, and other body fluid samples daily. The use of chemical reagents, diagnostic instruments, and high-throughput testing generates a significant amount of waste. Biomedical Waste in these laboratories is

Radiation Hazards

Introduction Modern clinical biochemistry laboratories rely on advanced diagnostic tools and research techniques. Some specialized laboratories use radioactive materials for testing and scientific analysis. These procedures improve sensitivity and accuracy, yet they introduce serious occupational

Instrumental Hazards
