Yuk Rene, that sounds so messy, but it is cheap except for tying up racks
and buckets.

Cheers,

Inexpensive long term anti oxidizing storage? Immerse them in mineral oil!

I have a paper from Yale several years ago about their tissue array
facility. They found that storage in nitrogen helped a lot. I will try to
find it, but you may be able to google it faster.

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!
