valuable for research and clinical diagnosis. If your organization's policy
allows you to sell them, we will pay a fair price. If not, we can provide your

Hi:
Anyone who may have HSV1/2, CMV, Treponoma, Adenovirus tissue blocks we would
be happy to hear from you. We can trade almost any other rare block you can

May I ask, in all your opinions, Who is supplying the best control slides for
clinical settings? Both Special Stain and IHC? What would you like to see in
your control slides? What don't you want to see- long lead times, quality? As
for Research, what are your requirements?

1) Try tap water
2) Try hydrophilic IHC slides, (I will send you samples for free)
