>Dear Histonetters,
>I think everyone on the Histonet would like to hear about all the
>creative, cost effective, and HIPPA-compliant ways labs can dispose of
>slides and blocks that have exceeded their retention limits.
>Does anyone use an outside company that disposes of glass slides and/or
>paraffin blocks, or is there equipment to be rented/purchased that would
>provide a solution to everyone's slide and block disposal challenge?
>We would all like to hear of your innovative or not so innovative
>solutions to this challenge.
>Thank you in advance for your solutions.
