[Histonet] RE: Histonet Digest, Vol 132, Issue 10

[Michael Ann Jones]

We use the platinum series from Mercedes Medical - they are so
hydrophilic, that if you place your section wrong on the slide, you cannot
float it off and start over. We also take our sections at a backwards
angle from the surface of the water: rather than lift from underneath - we
put the slide in the water bath next to the section face down at a severe
angle, attach the section to the top of the slide (or wherever) and then
pull slide out at angle. This encourages the water to stay in the bath and
not under sections. Does that make sense?
