[Histonet] CAP checklist for temperature and humidity

[Cassie P. Davis]

Good morning folks,

           I need some help. You folks were wonderful helping with the optimal ranges earlier this year and I tried to find it before I asked but we are not "finding a specific CAP requirement telling us to monitor the humidity as well as temperature in the histology lab only the slide storage room".  Most histology people know how humidity can affect microtomy and section tissue adhesion, I would think it would be a requirement but "they" say there is no specific requirement and "they" are not convinced the per manufacture instrument operation requirements qualifies. Any help you can provide is appreciated, my head hurts from beating it against the wall.
