[Histonet] Block and Slide retention

[Cazares, Ruth]

Hello Histonetters,

I wanted to know what institutions in Illinois are doing as far as block and slide retention. I believe the guidelines that came out recently say 10 years. Our facility, as I'm sure others do, want to hold them longer.

Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
