I put in a vote for this too. We used to do all our IHC this way until
volume demanded a change to Coverplates. We still do it with some ABs
that don't seem to work with Coverplates. We expoxy 10ml plastic pipets
into the TC tray just like Ms Sheridan says and it's very convenient. The
10ml size gives enough height to easily pick up the slides. You can fit 8
slides down each side of the tray, the cover fits well to hold in the
humidity, the lid is transparent, they stack well in an incubator, etc.
Slide boxes are opaque, and you also can't grab the slides as easily. Of
course, after you make these, other labs in your building will steal them
and you'll have to make more...   jc
