Robert Skinner wrote a great article for Histo-Logic May 2003, about a flammable (100 mL of isopentane ($2)) that exploded in a freezer, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage. Incredible photos of the damage. I hope this link works. http://www.sakura-americas.com/histologic/pdf/03_may.pdf

We have always just stored them in the routine histology refrigerator. I have never had this concern come up before and the charge tech of toxicology is now questioning this type of storage. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks, as always fellow histonetters, the best group in the world!!
