[Histonet] Floaters in Waterbath

One pathologist called it forcep metastasis. Tom T

Subject: [Histonet] Floaters in Waterbath

I know we have all had some problems with floaters in our waterbath at some
point in our microtomy career.
Our doctors are very picky and I need some tips on keeping an immaculate
clean waterbath, but not sacrificing the speed in a regular
routine lab.  We use the pyrex waterbath and paper towels for wiping our
area.

Thanks
