[Histonet] Storage of Frozen Tissues

[Dennis Hahn]

How does everyone store tissues that are at -20 or -80? Currently we wrap the tissue well in foil and place in a labeled cassette. If shipped out, we double bag as required. Recently, a concern has been raised about the cassettes being a safety issue due to the fact that the tissue could be exposed to staff. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dennis
