[Histonet] Unstained slide storage

[Margaryan, Naira]

Hi Aprill,

Why do you keep paraffin-embedded slides in refrigerator? Is it the
rule?

I consistently cut more slides than I need and store them in the
refrigerator after I dip them in melted paraffin.  I have seen decreased
antigenicity over years with some antibodies but not all.
