Lab technicians at pathology labs conduct tests by collecting and preserving specimens and biological samples. These microorganisms can be contagious and impose threats to the environment. Mishandling or improper storage of such materials can contaminate the area, and the experiment could lead to faulty results. If you have a lab that involves storing and observing biological samples, ensure that everyone associated with the practice is familiar with these safety rules.                Know the objectives of preservation Unless a sample is useful for determining a disease or characteristics of the organism, keeping random biological materials is an absurd idea.
