[Histonet] Storage of HER2 neu control slides

[Sebree Linda A]

Good morning,

I'd like to get some opinions on the storage of positive control slides for HER2 neu.  We currently keep a number of positive control slides in a -20 degree freezer as some antigens tend to lose reactivity at room temperature; ER and PR come to mind.  What has peoples' experiences been with the storage of these control slides?

Thanks for any and all replies,

Linda
