The proper regulations for storage, retention, and use of archived specimens in pathology laboratories and academic institutions are yet to be established. These specimens could be used appropriately for research purposes. Ideal storage and retention in a controlled environment is necessary, and there is a lack of established rules regarding the ownership of the tissue specimens, paraffin blocks, and slides. Though there are numerous uses of formalin-fixed tissue specimens, blocks, and slides, there are also problems in archiving them that hinder their use. This review article addresses the above issues and proposes simple guidelines for the effective use of archived specimens.
病理学实验室和学术机构中存档标本的妥善存储、保存和使用的适当规定尚未确立。这些标本可适当地用于研究目的。在受控环境中进行理想的存储和保存是必要的，而且关于组织标本、石蜡块和载玻片的所有权缺乏既定规则。尽管福尔马林固定的组织标本、石蜡块和载玻片有多种用途，但在存档时也存在阻碍其使用的问题。这篇综述文章探讨了上述问题，并提出了有效使用存档标本的简单指南。
