[Histonet] Prolonged FFPE slide and block storage

[Joseph Saby]

Sam-

Are you storing sectioned slides?

What we do is to deparaffinize and coverslip sectioned but unstained slides.  I haven' had to go back, but I believe they will store that way a long time.

Hi All,
We have a growing need for storing slides. 

They need to be stored in a way that they won't become oxidized and loose their
antigenicity, since we use them for IHC.  

Any suggestions for inexpensive methods for prolonged storage of FFPE slides and
blocks is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
