[Histonet] RE: saving slides between levels for IHC?

[Morken, Timothy]

Sandy, we have various protocols, some that have unstained between those to be stained. However, we have moved away from having "extras" cut "just in case" because we had thousands of unstained slides stored that were never used. After a few months they may be unreliable for staining.

Does anyone know if it is standard  to save sections from between the
levels for IP?  Is it standard at your institution?
