proper storage

How Should Histological Samples Be Stored?

Histological samples, such as tissue sections and slides, should be stored under specific conditions to maintain their quality:
Tissue Sections: Store at -20°C or -80°C if long-term storage is needed. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Paraffin-embedded Blocks: Keep at room temperature in a dry, dark place. Use airtight containers to prevent oxidation.
Stained Slides: Store in slide boxes or cabinets at room temperature. Avoid prolonged exposure to light to prevent fading.
