The Microbiology laboratories of Higher Education Institutions develop activities with a variety of microorganisms and contaminated materials, and some laboratory techniques require more specific conservation measures, since they are of fundamental importance for the study of microbiology, such as slide staining. In this perspective, it is necessary to adopt a set of preventive measures within a program of good practices in handling and conserving the materials used. The present study objective heoretical and practical visualization of the conservation profile of microbiological glass slides of the institutional collection of a private university located in the metropolitan region of Belém, Pará, Brazil. This is a documentary study of a retrospective nature and primary qualitative and quantitative basis, the material worked on was acquired by an educational institution with the aim of meeting the visual and practical needs of microbiology. The slides containers were not found in the proper position, they were horizontally inside an MDF cabinet, with several other materials, which may have compromised its quality. In view of the parameters already discussed on the subject, it is possible to establish that good laboratory practices stand out as the necessary foundation for the realization of active methodological and teaching strategies, which aim to contextualize academic knowledge in a technical and exploratory perspective for the development of the student's theoretical questioning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
