Reported risk: The foil pouches for some EBV-NA (EN100) substrate slides appear to have been damaged, resulting in exposure to moisture and a decrease in slide reactivity/loss of fluorescence. Meridian's investigation has also determined that the desiccant packaged with the compromised EBV-NA substrate slides have turned pink, indicating exposure to moisture. The desiccants are typically blue.
