[Histonet] CAP question on humidity levels

[Andrea Grantham]

I remember many years back that the lab where I worked in TX had to get a 
barometer in the lab as one of the outcomes of a CAP inspection and check 
the humidity - this wasn't in Histology but in the Chemistry lab. Maybe 
that section of the CAP checklist has the answer to your question. Or - 
maybe you could ask someone in chemistry and save yourself the work of 
trying to find the answer and only look it up if you have to.
