Hi Histonet's,

What is the recommended way to store paraffin blocks for a long period ?
Room temperature, or 4C ?

The advantage in storing at 4C is that the blocks are always ready for
sectioning.
Is there a risk when storing at 4C that the humidity in the fridge will
cause damage to the paraffin blocks and the tissue ?
After sectioning, How do you store the slides, and for how long ?


Thank's
Itai Moshe
