[Histonet] Re: Teabags

[Lee & Peggy Wenk]

Hint when using these - do NOT try to fold them up into a nice looking 
square. Once processed and in paraffin, it is very difficult to find the 
edge, to try to open back up.

Fold into a not nice to look at, off-set square that is slightly crumpled. 
Much easier to find the edge.

For those of you who like lens paper and/or the Obex Histo Wrap, a very 
inexpensive alternative is to visit any beauty store or visit 
sallybeauty.com and get a box of Jumbo End Wraps for $1.99 for a thousand 
2.5" x 4" sheets.  We have used them for years and they work really well for 
cell blocks.

Susan Walzer notes >>I was also tired of digging bone marrow particles
and biopsies out of the stitching. Some people like [teabags] because
they can just dump tissue in them but they do not have to fight with
them when embedding. Biopsy cassettes can trap air and float. The best
all around product is Obex round papers. For people who like to dump
you can fold them into cones and use like filter paper. They are the
best thing for all around protection of small and friable tissue.<<

I'm not familiar with Obex round papers. See http://histowrap.com/ for
more information.
