[Histonet] Plastic molds for freezing tissues and STATIC CHARGE CONTROL

[George Cole]

Histotechs:
The molds that work very well with muscle and nerve and just about
everything else are from TISSUE TEC.  They are called CRYOMOLDS.  The
standard size is 25mm by 20mm  by 5mm.  The intermediate size is 15mm by
15mm by 5mm. They are thin walled plastic boats that work just great
with OCT and they can be reused if handled carefully.
 
For the control of STATIC CHARGES ON TISSUES ---- The STATICMASTER
IONIZING UNIT MODEL NO. 2U5OO
The address of the supplier:  2937 ALT BLVD. GRAND ISLAND N.Y. 14072. I
used them for 40 years. They have a flexible shaft holder for the unit
that makes it easy to direct the deionization. You can order two If you
are really bothered by static cling---like in a very dry climate---order
two of the 2U500's and tape them together on the stand.  There is a 1000
unit, but that takes a radioactive substance permit. I used 2 units
taped together in rainy Oregon, and I think all of you would prefer the
double set up. The emitters are polonium and emit particles that do not
pierce the skin, They warn you not to eat the strips under the grid. I
don't see how you COULD eat what's under the grid. Sometimes I wish
someone would do it, so I could find out how the heck he did it.
