We used to use a drying oven set at 37 degrees C. We stopped using it because
some people thought it smelled, plus our slide volume increased to the point
where all the flats couldn’t fit.
Now we dry them for two days, minimum, before filing. I prefer to let them dry
for at least 4 days.
Use tape if you want to have a lean mean operation. Instant filing, no
sticking, no ovens.

I've seen labs that do this, like 30C for 24 hours, but if you use xylene,
make sure to put the oven under a hood.
It's a lot easier just to leave them out, in a well ventilated place, for
48hours. Buy more slide folders/trays.
I worked one place where the slides were held for 24 hours before
We leave ours in slide trays for at least 2 days prior to filing. We are a
smaller derm lab so that’s probably not feasible for larger labs.

I never have. Usually let them sit for two days before we filed them.

I am posting this question for our Histology manager:
Does anyone dry coverslipped slides in an oven before filing and if so how long
and at what temperature. We are having issues with filed slides sticking
together.
Thanks in advance for your help with her question.
