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.
