Do not use slides past the expiration date printed on the label. Do not expose to elevated temperatures.

Allow slides to come to room temperature prior to opening.

WARNINGS / PRECAUTIONS:

Precaution: Etiological agents which may be present on these specimens have been treated to render them noninfectious. However because no method can offer complete assurance that all organisms are nonviable handle all control slides and materials coming in contact with them as potentially infectious materials. Decontaminate appropriately.

Coxsackievirus B control slides may exhibit speckled nuclear staining in the coxsackie B2 negative well when stained with Coxsackievirus B Blend (3303) on coxsackievirus B2 Type-Specific reagent (3305).
