Hi Jenee: You need to check the histonet archieves. For the last two weeks there has been an on going conversation in regard to disposal of microscopic slides. Since I am in a COR lab most of my slides are sent to the PI's that order the slides therefore I do not have to deal with this as of yet. But some folks put there in sharps containers or boxes which are labeled sharps some have other methods. Check it out

Our lab only processes animal tissue (no TSE material). I tried searching the internet, but didn't find anything. Thanks in advance for any advice! -J Jenee S. Odani, D.V.M., Dipl.
