Hello My Fellow Histologists,

Happy Friday Eve.

The question has come up......  How long are *unstained* slides good for?
Not for H&E but tests like IHC and molecular testing.  These slides have
been cut, stored at room temperature, not sealed in anyway, and kept in a
cardboard box.

Please let me know what your opinions are and what your retention policy is
concerning *unstained* slides.

Thanks oodles.

Sincerely,
