[Histonet] brushes for cryotome anti-roll plate

[Jackie M O'Connor]

Years ago I saw some labs using Crayola brushes to clean up the microtomes 
and cryostat. I started using them and get them at the office supply store. 
I also saw them once in Walgreens. They are called Crayola "So Big" No. 
208. Very inexpensive just don't use them with xylene since the handles are 
plastic!

Speaking of brushes - sometimes I like to brush down sections while doing 
frozens and fabric painting brushes work well for this. I get mine at JoAnn 
Fabrics and Crafts. They are made by Loew Cornell and a pack of them is 
just a few bucks.

Hello,

I'm trying to order a couple of brushes that we use for cleaning the
anti-roll plate and blade after a section has been taken in our cryotome.
The previous brushes I used were worn down to a nub, and nobody knows
where
we got them from.  Fisher doesn't have the right type at all.  Ours were
~1.5 cm in length and had medium stiff bristles.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!
