[Histonet] retaining cut slides to keep or not to keep

[Rene J Buesa]

It seems you have "baked" and "unbaked" slides.4ºC storage is always more expensive and "baked" slides are keep very well at RT.I think your first step is to ask around who would like those specific slides.If they will be used in the future, "bake" those "unbaked" and store all at RTRené

 Hi everyone,

I work in a research lab and have a number of slides that have been cut by
the previous person in this position. Several slides are over one year.  I
would like to know what is the standard practice for keeping cut slides? I
have used them and they stain just fine but the question was brought up in
a lab meeting.

How long can you keep unbaked slides? Room temperature/4C
