[Histonet] Fungus Control Tissue

[Galbraith, Joe]

Sheila:

Have you tried your local or state animal disease lab or the National Animal Disease Lab in Ames, IA.  If you can work with animal instead of human tissue these labs may be able to help.  Do you have a large academic or tertiary care medical center nearby which has a block reclamation program (collects anonymized tissue blocks for research purposes that are being discarded by labs after the required holding period).  Sometimes these programs can find blocks with unusual or infectious processes as they collect from a broad range of sources.  (PS: We have such a program here.)

Hi all. Does anyone have a resource for control blocks? We are in need
of fungus controls and are trying to save the cost of buying slides.
Thanks all.
