[Histonet] [EXTERNAL] Pap slides

[Perl, Alison]

We routinely leave our ThinPrep Paps in 95 overnight and stain the next day. If I remember our Hologic training correctly, they said the slides can be left up to 5 days - best to check with an FAS before trying it, though

Can pap slides be left in 95% alcohol overnight to be stained the next
morning without affecting the quality of the slides? Or should they be
moved to xylene then run back prior to staining?
