[Histonet] Disinfecting Cryostat

[Elizabeth J. Rizzo]

Hello Gayle, I got your name from your post on the histo listserv after I did a google search. I have a researcher who wants to use our clinical cryostat for known CJD + tissue. Have you ever used formic acid in the cryostat followed by alcohol? Where did you get supporting documentation regarding cryostat disinfection following prion exposure? Any help would be appreciated. Liz
