I know this subject has probably been addressed before, but I need to poll the net. We are a Pathology Core in a research center. We have paraffin blocks (mostly non-human) collected since we were established in 1986. Our core will soon be undergoing renovation and we need to either store or dispose of a good many of these blocks. It will be expensive to store all these blocks and, since most of them have never been accessed again, we would like to destroy them. I would like to hear back from other people as to what their policy is, especially in a clinical setting. Thank you. Peggy
