[Histonet] Room temperature optimal for Histology Lab

[Michelle Bell]

Unfortunately, there are no “best practices” for room conditions that I can find.  The only real standard is to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for reagents AND equipment.  There is a reference to ideal ranges on the FDA website, but it’s specifically refers to clinical labs. I look forward to hearing from others on this topic

Subject: [Histonet] Room temperature optimal for Histology Lab


Good morning,
I'm looking for any scientific based information about optimal room temperature and humidity ranges for a Histology lab. I understand it all depends on your paraffin, but I need something for my meeting with HVAC.
Can anyone point me to a source document?
