[Histonet] Temperature for Storing Slides and Blocks

[Dessasau III, Evan]

When we had our structure built we had cooling/heating units(2) put in a structure that is about 818sqft.  70F summer and 65 to 68F winter is what we aim for.  Not sure if that is ideal but it keeps the blocks cool in the summer and the slides from sticking in the winter.
Thank you,

Subject: [Histonet] Temperature for Storing Slides and Blocks

Is there a good reference or standard on what the room temperature should be for storing slides and blocks?  We have moved our long term storage out to our hospitals warehouse and I believe the building is getting much too hot.  What temperature range is everyone using?

Thanks so much
