[Histonet] Temp/Humidity Records?

[Breeden, Sara]

During a recent inspection, the SOP and documentation for room
temperature/humidity in the histo lab were noted as being absent.
Although I document instrument temperatures, I have not kept records on
room temp/humidity. It was noted that these factors may affect IHC
staining quality.  If I am to begin documenting these parameters, I'd
like to know if there are any guidelines in a general sense (or a
specific one) relating to the variances and requirements.  Any help
would be appreciated!
