[Histonet] Securline pens

[Connie McManus]

Pencil is what I have always used until about 5 yrs ago when I
discovered the secureline pens.  These worked pretty well at first, then
I started having trouble with them and stopped using them.  I went back
to pencil to temporarily label my slides (we still use pencil on our
cassettes).  I find that if I use the hardest leads I can find, there
isn't any grit that contaminates my sections or reagents and it doesn't
smudge or wipe off. In my experience, #2 leads are the worst for using
on slides and cassettes.  I use a mechanical pencil with 5mm HB leads.
We have no problems with those.

I use Pigma Micron archival pens available at your local arts and crafts
store in the scrapbook section.  You have to let them dry, but once the
ink is on, it doesn't come off!  I use it for slide staining and tissue
processing.  I don't do as much tissue as a histology lab, so I can
prepare for the next day of tisse processing by marking all of my
cassettes ahead of time.  For more info, feel free to write to me!
