[Histonet] Temperature for Storing Slides and Blocks

[WILLIAM DESALVO]

I do not know of a standard, but you should make sure the storage temp is 5-10 degrees lower(maybe more depending on fluctuations in temp for the area). That would be < 120F degrees. Request the location Facilities department understands you need temperature control

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.

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
