[Histonet] Open Storage of Retained Specimen Containers

[Ryan Michael Hickey]

Hi Histonet,



Is storage of sealed, formalin-containing, retained specimens (post-gross)
acceptable in open, metal shelving units within a designated area, or do
these specimens need to be in a metal cabinet or in a closed, separated
room under special conditions (e.g., negative pressure)? Thanks for any
insights you may be able to provide!
