Subject: [Histonet] fixed cytology slides


Greetings to all,
so far we handled wet-fixed cytology slides as health risk free without
gloves, however there is no data regarding this on the net (or at least
I wasn't able to find it). I would appreciate response on safety policy
in other cytology labs regarding fixed cytology slides and/or any
reference on the subject.
many thanks
