Re: [Histonet] slide file storage to dry slides

I've seen this a couple ways. Metal trays put in slide drying oven on low temp 
overnight. Low or you will ruin some labels . I've also seen these nice wooden 
boxes that hold the metal slide trays. You put them in it , it's like a rack . 
Put them in order. I think they hold about 1000 slides. You just leave these 
there they will be your most recent. By the time it's full. Put half up and 
then continue rotating after that. I'd check with fisher maybe

 Good morning all,
 
 We've recently switched from film coverslipping back to glass and
 therefore need to thoroughly dry our slides before permanent filing.  I
 recall, in my first histology job30 + years ago, that we used metal
 stacking slide files that you could put an insert into the drawers that
 looked like a non-stretchy spring.  The wires of this spring held the
 slides apart to dry, then they could be filed without the spring when
 they were completely dry.
 
 Anyone know if that product still exists?  Or does anyone have a better
 solution for drying slides while still keeping them in order?
 
 Thanks for the assist,
