RE: [Histonet] Sekura Tissue Tek Block Storage

2014-07-08 Thread Sheila Haas
As we reuse block file drawers, we run a piece of bold colored tape (as wide as 
the front of the drawer) across
the front. We use a different color for each year which helps quickly 
distinguish one year from the next when pulling or filing blocks. Works very 
well here and is inexpensive.
 
Good luck.

 Subject: [Histonet] Sekura Tissue Tek Block Storage 
 
 Hello Histonet,
 
 First time poster. My institution has a 25 year retention on paraffin blocks. 
 The 1989 batch was just destroyed and the storage containers were returned to 
 me. They appear to be the same size as the current sekura tissue block 
 storage units we use. Does anyone know of a commercially available label 
 overlay for the drawers? I could cut down adhesive labels, but wanted to see 
 what was out there on the market.
 
 Thanks, Nick

We re-use block file drawers as well. We write on the front with red
sharpie marker and take off writing with alcohol.
Works pretty well.
